I agree with what has been said about the DAW vs. Tascam discussion as it is about his needs. So I will address the mic side.

If this is his first good mic purchase I would suggest either a Shure M58 for vocals or a Shure M57 for both vocals and to mic amps, drums etc. Both are built like tanks and they are in the same price range as the one you are thinking about. But like amps, DAWs and cars mics can be a very personal thing!

Good luck.

I guess Do You Hear What I Hear was a bad song choice!
