Started a discussion here: Cheap or expensive mics to be used in "home" environment recordings.
For many of us recording at home, due to "home environment" conditions which usually forbides a good isolated recording. Therefore a budget mic suffice in such a situation compared to expensive mics which are overbought under such circumstances.
Also with many cheap budget mics surfacing nowadays, do we still need the more expensive stuffs for the color that we want to capture or will a cheap one just do at home?
Just want to bring to attention that there are two budget mics on the way and see if anyone has used them and wishes to post comments on them recording in "home" environment:
Behringer C-1 (Listed $80 SGD)
http://www.behringer.com/C-1/index.cfm?lang=ENG
StudioProjects B-1 (Listed US$99)

I am sure many budget makes will come their way for a share in the market. What are your comments on these budget mics?
With so many cheaper equipment around, do u think that a budget setup (mic-preamp-computer soundcard) could yield a respectable demo recording at home?
