i beg to differ. i have a usb mic. the samson c01u. i have to say that it's cheap and easy to use. of course that's only for simple usage. i use it to record amps and vocals only. cant record a drumkit. it's easy to use and produces great results.

wayne1991 : guitarport riff tracker acts as a "guitar D.I" , for a microphone recording you need a pre-amp. and apparently after you get a preamp you'll need to get a soundcard and a mic too. so thats why I suggested UX2 because it's a guitar D.I / mic preamp / soundcard interface in one.

u can try get those behringer "sm-57"s.... try the shop in front of luthermusic. forgot the price. but definitely below a hundred, maybe even 70.... a real shure sm-57 cost 150... so yeah, my 2 cents...

eh, I use behringer leh, works great for me, I used it on the toms for the SOFT drumxchange on gigvideos.com (first few videos)
anyway if you wanna get a cheap mic I highly recommend go cash converters, they sell for about $5 to $8. or $10. no more than that.

well, i've a u87 but i'll never think of taking my u87 for toms. 414s for toms is ok. i'm just wondering why do we need 6 u87s? choirs?
why not???
the more mics you use the more echo and natural 'room sound' you will get.
u87 is nice for toms but not too close. the 57 still sounds sweeter i think. and lets remember we are talking about "home recording" here. who will buy u87's for home use??? they cost more than a small condo on orchard!

well, i do have friends owning 87 for home use. well... it all depends what kinda of stuff you really need. for me, shure 57/58 never goes wrong. and if you want to do podcast. the usb mics work just fine. just remember this. mics/ good preamps/ DA would not make your bedroom sound big. home recording have it's limit. go by your budget and select your equipment carefully. choose what's best for your usage. if you just want to record demos(putting your creativity into soundwave). then get something that is easy to use. at the end of the day, you still go into a studio for recording. don't stress yourself to much on the technicality of sound engineering. it would kill your songs something by choosing what format you want to record in.
