Recording equipment

Jfyi that might be a passable quality domestic mic, but it is a long way from 'good quality'. It's meant for pub karaoke, not mastering a CD. It's a hand-held vocal mic really meant for a single singer on stage. It's probably got a pretty non-linear response too.

That mic is pretty near useless for recording a choir.

For sound equipment you can spend pennies or thousands of pounds.

Try and get someone who knows what they are doing involved. I have heard some amateur CDs in my time, produced by well meaning people but they are, in the end, an embarrassment to all concerned.

That mic is cardoid, which means ideal for single person, but not choir, even if you have had 2 or 3.

Definitely need to go and speak someone who knows or is learning it.

If you really want to take a DIY approach, you can buy mics which connect directly to the USB input of your laptop.

You can also get quite good results from a handheld dedicated digital recorder with a built-in stereo mic. Tascam, Olympus and Zoom all offer suitable models.

But the best advice is what paddyrg has suggested - get someone who knows something about recording involved. It's a complicated and highly technical field and you will have a steep learning curve ahead if you decide to do it all by yourself.
