Microphone For Oud & Voice?, Need Help Options

[jenbob]

I am a newbie and want to find a mic to record someone playing an oud and singing at the same time. Can I do this with one mic in a room? What mic (under $300) would you recommend? Is Sound Studio good enough application to do this with on an iBook G3?

I have a Sony MS 907 but I seem to be getting clipping.

thanks,
bob

I use a Otava MK-319. Got it on sale at guitar center for $200, including boom stand, mic cable, and shock mount. Watch those sales, there are some really good buys out there right now. In order to keep from clipping I use a Alesis NanoCompressor. Something that comes in real handy when recording live performances, where the sound can deviate conciderably.
