nice mic! and mixer! I'm a bit of a sound gear geek myself, and I love stuff like that. I'm using an Audio Technica mic, a AT-2020. $100. It does the trick for vocals, and I have software that cleans it up real nice. I need to buy a new mixer, and I want one that works as a control surface for a DAW and has firewire connection to computer. There's a Yamaha that strikes my fancy. I love Yamaha sound gear.
