TrueRTA has a free version, and that works pretty well.

I need to get me some RTA software and that mic setup :)

I guess the mic that everyone recommends is like $60. Then you need this $125ish breakout box for it.

A lot of guys also use the Behringer ECM8000 omni mic.

I believe you can plug the output of a preamp right into your sound card without need for a mobile pre or anything. You'd have to modify the cable, however.

I'd take dbx's over Behringer's anything anyday, myself.

With either mic you will need either a mixer with phantom power or a phantom power box: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ ... c=3SOSWXXB
