Thanks! I'm currently torn between two (after hours of research lol)
This is the one I'm leaning toward: (Samson C01U Pro USB Studio Condenser Microphone)

And this is the other possibility (Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB Cardioid Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone):

My primary concern is obviously audio quality, but I'm also very concerned with background noise. I've got 4 kids, and keeping them quiet is...challenging. I think the majority of my recording will be done after they're in bed, but on weekends and stuff they tend to stay up late...so, a mix of me telling them to chill out and a mic that can filter out background noise is probably my best bet. I've already started selling my wife on me turning the guest bedroom into my office lol
edit: I'd like to officially open this up to anybody who has mic advice based on what I just said!
samson C01U is def the way to go, pretty cheap too. quality is unmatched - i just recorded this on it earlier
