So I'm about to start a YouTube channel soon and do some covers but I want to make my videos high quality with the sound so Im currently in the Market for a good microphone to record on. I heard good things about the shure SM57 so I'm kinda leaning towards that but if you guys have any suggestions on what type of Mic I should get let me know.

First song I'm covering is Second & Sebring by Of Mice and Men (Great song)

I will also be playing mostly metal so I'm not sure if that factors in which Mic would be better suited for the job.

I'm also considering getting this http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/used/5984 ... LR_to.html

The X2U should be good enough to handle all my preamp needs right? I am on a budget so cash is tight right now and this only costs about $100 so this is a perfect fit I assume?
 
2 points of interest:

1. You might want to tell us what instrument you'll be recording. Vocals? Guitar?

2. The Musician's Discussion subforum is appropriate place for this. This thread will probably get deleted.
