So I'm going to pick up some Yamaha MSP5s and I've got a decent soundcard and a decent computer. What's a standard studio mic? I'll probably be using it for singing as well as to mic the amp (I've got a little behringer mic pre amp).

Other than that, is there anything else absolutely necessary to record on a home pc? Maybe a decent mixer when it comes time to record my bros drums, as well as a lot of additional mics but we'll worry about that when the time comes I guess.
