Hello. I want to record an electric guitar through and AMP to my computer, and also keyboard and vocals, although the latter two are less important.

Could anyone possibly recommend me a USB Condenser Microphone? I mainly play distortion for metal. I've browsed around online and found two microphones within my budget--the Audio-Technica AT2020 and Samson CO1U. Would either of these two be a good bet? Any help would be appreciated.
 
Please stay away from usb mics.
They are mainly built for podcasting (internet chat radio)
You will have moniotoring problems when overlaying tracks, the analog>digital converters are mediocre and the short cords will lead to a lot of computer noise in the tracks.
Plus a condenser is just TOO SENSITIVE for hard cranking amps; a dynamic like a standard sm-57 is better.

Get a usb interface and standard sm-57 mic instead.
Not much more money and you'll be ahead in the long run.
