Currently Im using a Sure rs230. It came from Radio Shack. For 30 dollars it works fine, its not a pro mic but it seems to do the job. Make sure that you stay with in the two inch pick up zone. The second thing on you equipment list is a boom mic stand. Something that can reach over a computer desk is real handy. If you have more than one computer, most animators do, pick the quietest for sound recording and shut off all the others. Dale
