microphone

dynamic microphone ive always found to be top notch very loud

The mic question is kinda like asking what car is the best?
It depends on what you can afford..that's the first part of the answer..

If you can afford a few hundred bucks..Condenser and Ribbon Mics have the richest sound..However you would probably need a mixer or a USB type interface to use those type mics..

I have a thread where we discuss recording quality and improvements mics are discussed..as well as equipment..link below..
