Ok...simple question. What is the difference between a condenser mic and a regular mic. Are they used for different applications? What mics do i need to record each instrument of a band. Which is better for what?

mic'ing depends on if its a live situation or for recording...ill assume recording....

bass guitar - record direct
keyboards - record direct
guitar - mic the amp with a Shure sm57
drums - 2 small diap. condensers for overheads (marshall mxl603')
1 shure sm57 on snare
1 shure sm57 on kick (unless you wanna spend $$ on a AKG D112 or AT

for vocals, a sm57 is fine or you can go for a large daiphram condenser like the Marshall MXLv67 or SP C1....
