Hey all,

I have a alesis multimix 4.

I was wondering which microphone would give me the best quality if I chose
to record vocals and trumpet for the best price.

I am pretty much a beginner, and I don't need anything too high quality,
but I dont want a really crappy sound either. I'm not doing anything
serious for now.

thanks
 
Get an SM57. There are better mics but few as versatile. The entire drum kit on Hall & Oates' Sara Smile was recorded with SM57s. People sing into them all the time. It's probably the most common guitar amp and snare mic on the planet.

I would urge you to consider something like the AKG Perception 120.

Just so versatile and built like a tank...... great sound...... only $120 new ???
