Thanks for the info and the speedy response. You seem to be getting great quality out of this set up. Would this mic be as good? http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/...&type=store I am a real newbie when it comes to recording, mics, and stuff like that. From the little I've read, it seems that these mics could be pointed towards the subject and would filter out the background noise. But I know absolutely NOTHING, so please tell me if I'm wrong and the other mics would be better.

I'm a musician looking for a good cheap way to record myself and others playing live gigs. I also want it to be able to record myself practicing double bass and bass guitar. So I would need a mic and a recorder with a line in? I also want to be able to transfer the audio to my computer quickly, although I would put up with realtime transfers if the price difference was great. The price is probably the biggest deciding factor.
