Do you want to scratch and do you need it portable? If neither, I wonder if you don't need any other hardware. You can produce multi-track just in Audacity. Koz

So far the MXL unit seems to come out on top. It has on-board zero latency monitoring and volume/balance controls similar to the G-Track that I have used and like. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/samsonGTrackConnections.jpg Get the full spider mount, pop and blast filter and a stand.

Unfortunately, you never get somebody trying out two microphones and liking one of them. Audio quality has almost nothing to do with the microphone. What kind of room do you have and where is it?
