USB Mic for powerful vocals (Below $200USD)

[Zijin_cheng]

I currently have a crappy USB Mic that performs very well for voice overs but clip and distort when I sing too loud (I can sing super loud).

I'm wondering if there are any USB condenser mics below $200USD that I could record powerful vocals without distortion? The cheaper the better. Or do I have to go XLR + audio interface?

Also to add, this crappy mic distorts and clips even with gain turned all the way down in audacity AND Windows. Not looking for amazing sound (e.g. not investing in soundproofing my room yet), just non distorted lol

Any recommendations for both under $200?

My buddy has the 2i2 and EV20, and I would like to ask if I could get an even cheaper audio interface?
What about the Behringer U-Phoria?

Have you used the Blue Yeti? It's a solid USB microphone and if you record into Adobe Audition you might be able to clean it up significantly!

You can fix clipping in post? I didn't realize that was possible. When convenient please let me know how I can do that, because I can then use my existing USB Mic
