Hi Raddy,

One question that needs to be answered prior to suggesting a mic is are you going to use the mic for more than recording your sax? Will you be also recording vocals, or guitars, pianos etc?

If only for the sax then get a mic that clips onto the sax's bell like one of these:

If you will be recording other instruments/vocals then a Shure SM 57 is a good all around mic to have, plus you will need a boom mic stand:

Plus to get the best sounding recording you will need a good mic preamp like a Focusrite:

If you are going to use a USB mic I would still get a Shure SM57 and this Mic to USB converters:

These are just my opinions and others may or may not agree.

I hope this helps.
