hey, can someone name the basic components (the only ones that are necessary) to create a home studio? I already know I need a computer, a microphone, a pop-shield, so.... what else do I need?

We're going shopping for one and I need to know what it is actually called,what type of microphone is it. If you have any suggestions or tips,I will be very grateful if you can give them to me. I know other people have already asked questions about it, but I don't really understand if they're talking about the same things I'm talking about..So, can you guys help me?
Answer
There are two types you could use.
1: A uni directional dynamic microphone. This is the type vocalists use on stage. The advantage is that you can choose the type and quality you want depending on how much you want to spend. From 10 - 12 dollars up to several hundred. The disadvantage is connecting it to your computer.
They can be used either balanced or un-balanced.
Balanced: Used for long cable runs. The mic has a 3 pin socket for a 3 pin XLR plug to a 3 pin XLR plug. To use it you would need an adapter to connect it to the computer. Or you can get an un-balanced mic cable which has an XLR on the mic end and a 1/4 jack on the other. You would still need an adapter to convert from the 1/4 jack to a 1/8 jack to the computer.
2: Condenser/capacitor microphone. Go to your computer shop and get one of these. They are not expensive. They need a power supply to work which is supplied by the computer and they plug directly in to it without the need for adaptors. You can get one as a standalone mic but I would suggest you get a combination mic/headphone unit. You can then monitor in ear and keep the mic a constant distance from your mouth.
My recommendation is a headset from the computer shop, at least to get you started without a lot of hassle.
A lot of info for a simple answer but at least you know why I gave it.
