Im looking for an affordable mic to set up now that I have Logic Pro (was always on Garageband before). Im not a singer, drummer actually (no mics on my set sadly). I just want to do some voice stuff and other sound effects. My friend is an okay singer, so I would like to capture good audio but no singing for "pro work" no American Idol singing, just fun, my pro work is editing videos.

I have been playing with the idea of doing some podcasts for years, so I would also like a mic that could handle both (two birds one stone), simply get a good sound, not great, since great typically means pricey and at the moment mic work is simply a hobby.

The main thing I am looking for outside of the mic itself is a study stand to sit on my desk.

Any suggestions?

Do you have an interface or are you looking for a USB mic?
 
I truly do not understand this love affair with the nt1a. It is one of the worst mics I've ever used.
 
Nah, if you don't know anything about mics or audio engineering, just get a Shure SM58 and live a happy life.
 
well if we were to start talking live mics I'd say Rode M1 over the SM58, but yeh the 58 probably isn't a bad idea either

It is THE standard vocal mic for a reason. I don't get around to using mine at all anymore, but it's a mighty fine mic, that's for sure.
