Hi,

I was given excellent advice on this forum recently about adding vocals and naturally enough it included using a mic. The only mic I had in the house was an old Victor one that came with a now-retired cassette recorder. This one achieved only one green light on the scale so I went to a store and perused the mics. One (AudioTechnica, I think, or Sony) promisingly announced itself as a "digital" mic for DAT (which sounds impressive and computer-related) but I noticed that the packet said in small letters "not for PC use". I then called over the assistant and asked him which would be useful for my purpose and he shrugged and advised me to buy a headset with mic attached. Wasn't sure this was good advice so chose to stay micless rather than buy something unsuitable. So folks... what sort of mic is best?
