Mic question. What would it take to record good audio without having a studio or sound booth? We currectly have a shotgun mic (AudioTechnica) and a reporter style mic (Sennheiser) for use with our HVX 200 camera and my Mackie 1202 mixer. Which I use to capture audio into FCP or STP. I feel like I don't get that good of audio from our mics. Would something like this mic be good. I’ve seen studio mics range from $100 all the way up to a thousand. Can anyone recommend a good, cheap mic.

I guess, the bigger question is, is it the mic or the environment your recording in. We don’t have a booth rather my office, a room with my computer and editorial equipment. Basically we get these little or no budget video requests and I’d like to be able to record good VO tracks rather than call upon our audio house to hopefully give us another freebie. Any thoughts on set up?
This doesn't need to be broadcast quality just good enough for web and DVD.
