That's great to hear, but don't have paralysis by analysis. All you need is "listenable" quality. You can always get a better mic later. Although the Audio Technica 2100 delivers great audio at a $49 price tag. The bonus is its also USB and XLR (so you can grow into it). Another alternative is to use the Zoom H1 in a quiet room (it is a portable recorder with condensor microphones). The H1 also acts as a USB interface. Then later if you move to a mixer with mics setup, you can record into the recorder (so you original investment doesn't go to waste).
