Anyway stop using spotify and become a Bandcamp weirdo

Tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday and they waive all fees so 100% of what you pay goes to the artists

Asking this question again, if anyone has any feedback.

Specifically... I want a mic I can plug into my laptop and record directly into Audacity. Looking for a nice quality to cost ratio.

Right now, I have an old Sure SM57 handheld.
I want a new mic set up for recording my show at home.

Who has something they like/recommend?
