> you get what you pay for... cheap microphones sound cheap

That is certainly true. But a cheap sound today is a lot better than a cheap sound ten years ago, and it might be good enough for you. The only way to tell is to try it. On which note...

+1 on doing practice runs. Much more important than mic quality is placement and setting your levels properly. A cheap mic well placed will get you much better results than the best mic in a bad location.



True, though I think converters are the key difference there. The analog side of mic technology hasn't changed a whole lot recently.
