Get whatever mic for whatever youre trying to record. If you buy that sound interface you have $2000 for a mic. Youll get a pretty decent one for this BUT if youre going for a decent studio setup for bands to use I would recommend getting more cash for ATLEAST (you seriously dont wana be using just 2 mics for drums) 2 Overhead mics (most use ribbons) but the kick drum will sound like shit. You can use the same mic for guitar and things like keyboard and you will probably want to be using hipas settings on these mics to fit frequencies of bass in. Bass sounds ight using it through the desk/pre-amp but the best sound is through a real good cabinet(the band will probably have one of these already).
Im probably talking shit to you here since you probably just want to record vocals haha. Ignore after like line 7 ;)
