Which Microphone and 'XLR to USB' for Vocals and Podcasting?

Forums

Hello,

I'm doing some research on microphones for vocals and podcasting.

What would you recommend as a good starter kit for around ~100.
I will also consider things 'over budget' as well.

For now, I'm looking at things with a usb interface so I can use it immediately without extra gear.
The Audio-Technica AT2020 seems to do the job.

Tascam 1800 USB interface for my home studio

Hello, I need to buy a new interface for my home studio- Normaly things get done one track at a time. but at times a multi track jam would be very helpful. Amazon has two very bad reveiws on this piece of gear. But, they sound like the engineers aren't really pros. Not one of them mentioned Pro Tools 9 or how well this works with that platform.

Best usb audio interface for recording ONLY BASS with netbook?

I am planning to buy saffire 6 USB audio interference. I can record bass with a netbook HP mini 110-3500 with that?

Other option can be Roland V-Studio 20 (specifications say it can be use in netbooks!)

USB Preamp that works with Windows 7?

Does anyone know of a usb preamp that's phantom powered and most importantly works with windows 7? My old mobile pre usb has drivers for windows 7 but they're TERRIBLE. It keeps making most of my audio jacks not work. I only use it for podcasting.

I'd like to register, but I don't know the name of the cable that starts with m that the pros use...

Hello,

I have a studio rig I'm fairly happy with, but I want to be able to record me and my guitar while I'm away from home, on my XP based laptop.

Question one:

Any recommendations based on the following criteria?

USB/Firewire Audio Interface for 2011 MBP

Hey Guys,

I'm brand new to the recording game and was wondering what the best budget preamp/audio interfaces were for home recording. I have a new macbook pro and want to record guitar and vocals.
In terms of budget I probably don't want to spend much more than $200 as I'm also buying a mic.

Any help would be awesome, thanks :)
