I am new to recording and appreciate any help.

I welcome suggestions for inexpensive mikes that have decent quality for recording vocals (if it can do double duty and record instruments, i.e. flute, as well that would be a bonus.)

Also welcome any suggestions about (inexpensive) equipment/software for homerecording (my coumputer should be able to handle almost anything.)

Thanks!
 
Audio Technica 4033 will work great for singing as well as recording instruments. And it is not that expensive.
 
as far as mics, though i'm not as experienced as many here, i've found my audix om-3xb's to be very satisfying. for recording on a pc, i hear n-track is a heck of a deal, though i tend to mess around in cubase, mostly (helps that i have friends who can afford it so i can play with it). don't forget (not meaning to infer anything, but i figured i'd cover all the bases) to get a mic preamp. commonly given a lot of credit are the lower-end behringer mixers and the art tube/dual mp (depending on the # of pres you need)-i have a behringer mx602a (2 preamps) and am pretty happy, especially considering that it was only 80 bucks. from there, it should be a pretty straight shot into your line in for tons of modern technologically-enhanced goodness.
 
AKG C1000's! ALWAYS a winner

AKG C1000's. sound great on alomst anything.

-rox.
 
My Sweetwater catalog claims that the AT3525 has the same element as the AT4033. However, the AT3525 is cheaper, and it has pad and rolloff switches. I'm considering the 3525 mainly because I couldn't afford a 4033. I applied for a job at Arby's! Har har. Wish me luck. I need the cash.

I think the AKG c1000s is your best bet for an inexpensive condenser. I am a jazz vocalist and use it often for recording vocals.
