Hi,

Which combination in a price range of $200–250, in your opinion, would suite better for home podcasting:

(*) Shure PG42USB,
(*) M-Audio Fast Track MKII + Audiotechnica AT2035,
(*) Presonus AudioBox USB + Audiotechnica AT2035?

What I look for is a clean, deep sound for voice recordings. I haven't very good sound isolation in my room but the environment isn't noisy.

As for Samson G-Track USB mic, I've read it has a static noise problem ("hissing"). AT2020 USB seems to be fine but it lacks audio monitoring input.
