Title pretty well says it all. Right now the only gear I have is guitar related. I'm looking to get a little PA setup for the band, but I figure if I can do it right I can get a recording setup at the same time. Not a mega studio setup obviously, but enough to not have to make apologies for audio quality on clips anymore.
I'm looking to get a Mackie ProFX8v2 as my mixer because Mackie makes good stuff, and it has a USB output, so it could be my interface for recording.

For the moment I'll just run it through a keyboard amp I have, but in the future I'll pick up some proper speakers.
So what mics should i get? The singer is going to try out a bunch of mics and buy whichever she likes most, but as far as instrument mics I'm relatively clueless. I've watched a bunch of videos and all I've learned is that recording is a huge world, and I probably want at least two mics for a full sound. I probably need each mic to be approx. $100, or one standout solo recommendation up to $200.
Tips? If you could start your collection over, how would you do it?
