Toneport and live

Antisocialiser

Hey im using my toneport UX1 with the gearbox software it comes with and live recording software. First of all in order to hear my playin while recording i need a pair of headphones and also i would like a decent microphone to get some song ideas down. I was just wondering if anyway could point me in the right direction cause i dont really know where to start? i dont have much money atm which is an issue but also the mic doesnt havent to be great cause im not really a singer anyway.
Thanks in advance

If the UX1 has phantom power, get a condenser mic, even a cheap chinese made one will sound better for vocals than a dynamic mic. If it doesnt have phantom power, then I guess a Shure SM57 would be the best bet bearing in mind they sound good for both vocals and instrument/amp mic'ing. As regards headphones, look up some beyer dynamic and sennheiser pairs, I've also heard good things about the Behringer DJ set, cant remember the model number, but stay away from the bottom of the range behringer phones ie under 20 euro.
