I intend to replace my Extigy with the Audigy 2 Platinum Pro and also
would like to upgrade my microphone.

We need professionally recorded sound from this mic in the form of voice
recording.

What is the best mic to get and where from!? (Budget = around £60-£80)
and do I need some sort of [wind?]shield on it to prevent loud parts of
the recording (on the 'P' and 'SH' sounds etc?)

You only need a pop shield if getting close to the mic - not really
necessary for decent speech recording, unless the room is noisy.

Also can I attach more than 1 card to the audigy 2 or any sound card? Do
I need a hub of some sort?

The better mics will be condenser types, and will need powering. Some can
do this via an internal battery, but better ones will use phantom power.

Thanks for any useful tips and advice guys,


I think your budget may be a bit low for a quality mic, unless you can
find one secondhand. There is a fair range of eastern large diaphragm mics
available at reasonable prices - well reasonable compared to 'proper' pro
versions - but I'll leave others to say which is the best.
