i record wit an audio-technica ATR30 only $50 n shit wrks fine just use a pop filter n then it comes down ta ya mixin skills if u good at mixin or know sum1 who is then u can get by well off until u can afford or need a better mic

if u plan on droppin tracks n eventually gettin studio time go for a cheap mic but if u tryna do things on ya own pay for a good quality mic n wrk on ya mixin cuz u'll save lots of money that way

holla whun
