Hi Rich. I recommend against a USB mic. I haven't heard anything good about them in comparison to a regular mic through a regular preamp.

Do you already have any kind of music interface to your computer, like a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 or such? That would be all you need plus a mic. In my experience, a cheaper mic through a preamp will be better than putting all your money into a USB mic.
