Basic Recording

hey everyone,
i wanted to record couple of my peoms and maybe put a soft background on them.
i don't have anything, only two speakers.
I'm lookin for the cheapest way to get a decent mic.
someone told me to get a condenser mic with a 48 volt phantom power. in order to use that, apparently i need a pre-amp or a mixer.
anyone has any suggestion.

Patchbay. Balanced or Unbalanced?

I would like to get a patchbay to make patch changes easier in my rack.

Im looking at the Beringher px2000 or px1000. What is the difference between Balanced and Unbalanced? (the PX2000 is unbalanced.)

All my cables are 1/4" mono plugs for routing around the various boxes. Some times I do voice through the same rack.

Stick with PT (mbox) or move on to a Roland VS-2480CD

I have been using PT LE 6.2.1 on my g4 dual for the last 10mths. Well when it works it's great, when it starts acting up, Im at a loss. My MAC troubleshooting skills suck and besides frequently visiting the DUC forum for advice. My setup has pissed me off. I just us it to mix and recording my own projects (at home). So if I go with a Roland are my cpu crashing days over?
