I would like to make a directory of microphones and how they sound in UTAU. I'd really appreciate your help! I would really REALLY appreciate it. Here's what I need:

Microphone name (including company):
Microphone Price:
Sample of how an UTAU sounds when recorded by that microphone:
(Optional) Sample of how it sounds raw:

The sample of how an UTAU sounds when recorded by that mic can be super short, for example this; Ayame Microphone Sample Please try to keep it acapella (with no music).
For the sample of how it sounds raw, just speak into your microphone for a few seconds. Say something, anything really. Liiike 'This is how the C01U microphone sounds.'

Please please PLEASE help me with this. I would be so grateful as it could help a lot of new, or even old members out. Even if the microphone's quality is muffled because it's so cheap, they can make a decision on how clear they want it to sound based on how dedicated they are to the program. 

Thanks in advance!

Microphone name (including company): sE Magneto by sE Electronics
Microphone Price: $112 USD (not including price of XLR to USB conversion interface)
Sample of how an UTAU sounds when recorded by that microphone:
clyp.it/hvmfslmb (single pitch UTAU, rendered without flags with resampler)

Notes:
- I recommend this mainly for mezzo and soprano females

- As stated earlier, this is an XLR mic, which means it lacks a USB cable on its own and will require buying an interface to connect it to the computer. The interface used for this particular UTAU test is Icicle by Blue which is... roughly $49 USD.

- Additional charges may include: pop filter (definitely recommended, preferably non-metal), mic stand (the mic is not only weighty, but also sensitive to direct handling during recording - not recommended for holding for long periods of time)
