Mics have been discussed here several times. You get what you pay for. Go with a pro brand and model for pro sound. Look for something that doesn’t need phantom power to go directly into your sound card with a 1/4" mic jack. You can get a converter down to the mini plug or RCA plug on your sound card. Going for a really sensitve mic will require phantom (external) power, either a separate unit, or some mics will take a battery (not as steady).

different mics respond differently, so if you have resources available, play with different mics in different positions. Read a book about mics or sound reinforcement, or both. I say that because there are not just types of mics you should be aware of, but the various means by which to use them.
Sure SM-57 is a good bet, being more of a directional mic. I own a Sure KSM-27, which is a multipurpose studio mic. It pics up everything, almost too much, and I like it a lot.
I have heard of a piper who stuffs a small transducer mic in the windcap of their chanter, tacking it to the reed using blu-tac. Of course, this makes for a VERY LOUD setup.
I am looking for a micro to. You give me a good information :
“Look for something that doesn’t need phantom power to go directly into your sound card” This what I am looking for. Merci!
Please could you tell me the name of the micro you will get for you UP
Sylvain, if you do a Search on this forum you will see that your questions have been answered several times. There are many many choices, and everyone has their own reasons and personal preferences for the mics they choose. Check here:
That should get you started.

I am going to look that to day
