I am looking to buy a microphone I can use for at home practicing, possibly live performance, etc. with the Digitech Jamman Loop Station [Microphone Input: XLR Balanced (Female XLR, pin 2 Hot), not powered]. Ideally this mic would also be compatible with recording via Garage Band on my mac, with special connecting devices I presume. None of the instruments I play are electric, (including harp, accordion, ukulele, and musical saw) so I need a decent mic that would work well for simple performances with the loop station (maybe also vocal recording). Cost is a main concern; I just want a mic that does the job. Any advice would be greatly appreciated-- I don't have a clue what type I need.
 
i would say an sm-58. that'll work for live and recording, i used to have one of the boss loop stations myself and used a 58 which worked perfectly. maybe check that out?

Mic / Pickup

I have to say that even though you are thinking about a mic yu might want a Dean Markley Transducer pick up http://www.jr.com/dean-markley/pe/DMY_DM3000/ though for the saw the treble i more sensitive and you loose some high end, you dont have to worry about feed back. The advantage to a mic is you get more body and acuracy to the sound. Ether way you can adapt your playing style to the sound. for a mic I would go for a conderser mic http://www.hoffmanmusic.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=042005134304&eq=&Tp=
