[musictlk] Low budget music recording and a few questions

Hello,
I know nothing about the zoom and very little about the Mack. I'm not sure 
what your budget is, but if you get a quality mick you will need a sound 
card to plug it into.
I'm guessing the zoom will be equal to the built in mic on the Mack. If you 
wanted to look around, there are mics for about $80-120 at Fry's, I'm not a 
pro on the brands, I have one but have no idea what brand it is. I like the 
recording my mic does a lot.
It connects through a USB to the computer and it has a built in soundcard 
and preamp.
I can ask a sighted person when I see one next what brand it is if you'd 
like.
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

Thanks Brandon, can I connect the zoom h1 to the mac and use it for a Mike? 
Also, is their a relatively inexpensive mike I can get that would better 
then the built in mike?
