Anyone who has done audio projects in the past knows the importance of having quality audio equipment. Without a decent microphone or audio interface, you are going to have a very difficult time recording quality audio. If you plan to record your audio on the go, you could always use your iPhone or iPad. You just need a microphone that works with your device. These 5 microphones have you more than covered:

Blue Microphones Spark Digital Studio-Grade Condenser Microphone: looks very similar to other Blue microphones in this category. It works with Garage Band and other recording applications.

MiC Studio quality microphone for iPad: this is a studio quality cardioid condenser microphone, so it won’t be cheap. It offers 44.1/48 kHz, 24-bit analog-to-digital conversion. It is plug and play.
