Whats a good moderatley cheap microphone that will be good for micing up an amp and recording vocals

I Dont really care loads what it is I would like a USB mic as I work in alot of locations at different computers and I dont want to lug all the hardware around for something fancy thanks for any suggestions (;

Hyper X solo cast is half decent

I mean it is a gaming mic from Walmart but it is 40$ and doesn’t sound to bad

Forget about using a USB microphone

I'd go for a small, bus powered interface and an XLR microphe. Some LDC like the Rhode NT1A or ATH2020

The latter comes in USB form too but in general USB mics simply don't work that well in audio production

Just because it’s usb doesn’t mean it’s bad I’ve used alot of very good usb microphones that have served well and like I said I just want something easy I don’t have to carry loads of spare bits around with me

Thanks I’ll have a look into it I was thinking of maybe going for something from hyper X I did have the quad cast but it’s buggered

That's not what I said ... I said not suitable for audio production... More or less
