If you guys know about recording and stuff, what would be a good all around mic for electric guitar, bass, and vocals?  I don't want to spend too much more than $100.

whoops I saw it and thought it wasn't usb for some reason.  I'm pretty sure there's a version of that microphone that isn't usb so i was just confused...  Yeah I don't want usb

You should know some microphones are better for one thing than others. Like an Electro Voice PL 37 is better for things like acoustic guitars but a Devine BM-600 is better for vocals and ambient sounds. Getting one microphone is going to be difficult for true professional audiophiles to recommend but I have to say the latter would be a great choice(BM-600 and it's also under 100$) or a DAP CM-67.

That's all I worked with I could recommend, some pale in comparison with more expensive models but with good post production the quality should shine.

well im not a professional so i cant really tell definitly wich one is the best but i have the yeti now for almost a month and i quite like it. to be honest it does pick up quite a lot background but for recording instruments i usually have a very quiet room anyway so it sound actually pretty good but if you use it for example for things like skype  calls etc. i guess it can be anoying to some people to hear all that stuff going on in the background. as features go its pretty awesome i like no-latency headphone output and also the setup is pretty easy via usb. id recommend it but hey, thats just one mans opinion

I know different microphones are better for different things, but I'm just looking for a decent one to start out with.  I'll check out the ones you recommended
