That's something I'm interested in. I don't know anything about microphones though. What kinds of things should I look for and what kind of quality can I get for a reasonable amount of money?

The microphone built in to your computer or phone is probably pretty good. If you have garage band, you can edit or mix there. I recorded this song entirely without a mic and it isn't so bad.

Also, I used my iphone's voicememo app to record this spoken word.

Otherwise my suggestion would be an SM57 or 58. If you get serious about purchasing audio equipment, kleinbl00 would be a good person to ask.

Hmm. I'm not a mac guy and this computer is a bit aged. I guess I can give it a whirl and do a little digging. I don't need anything fancy, but it's a subject on which I've been curious for a while now. Thanks.
