This is not an editing tutorial per-say, but it is most definitely a relevant topic if you wish to record some audio (in which case, remember a long XLR cable!) or just for casual, high quality voice recording usage. A field that is very vast and threatening with the GORILLIONS of options available.
Here's a setup that I tried out and which works very well for me.

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure that it does sound decent.
The first one has some background noise filtered out, but the second clip is most definitely a completely raw recording. (GOOD VOICE NOT INCLUDED)

Shit you'll need to buy:

• Samson CS Microphone (~40$) / [Europe link (44 Euro)]
• Behringer Xenyx 302USB (50$) / [Europe link (44 Euro)]
• A Male-Female XLR cable (<15$) / [Europe alternative (<15 Euro)] (Keep in mind that the cables are down to your needs!)
  Grand total: About 100 bucks, less if you buy used and the Xenyx - the most expensive part of the equation - certainly seems like a sturdy little device.
  Euro total: 100-110+ Euro, depending on shipping costs.

What You'll Need To Do: FOR DUMMIES:

• Unpack your shit.
• Plug the female end (only holes) of the XLR cable into the Samson CS and the male end into the "MIC IN" port of the Xenyx.
• Plug the USB cable that came with the Xenyx into it and plug the other end into a USB2 port.
  Fortunately, since the transmitted data is entirely digital, the port placement (front/back) does not seem to make a difference - so you can safely plug it into any compatible port you can find.
• Set the default speaker device back to your speaker output, since there's a good chance it'll try to use the new USB audio device as the output.
• Set the new USB recording device volume to 1 or 2, depending on whether you wish the maximum volume to be low or high. (This kicks the noise floor way the fuck down.)
  
• The Xenyx has a "GAIN" knob directly below the "MIC IN" port, turn that up to the seventh line (the very bottom-left position is also a line)
  This should give you a nice volume with some spare room for those EXTRA LOUD sounds. If you're quiet as a mouse at all times, just turn it up appropriately to 8/10 or more instead.
• Turn the "MIC" knob at the very bottom-left all the way up.
• Play around with the Low/High sliders just above this "MIC" knob until you like how it records your voice.
• YOU'RE DONE!!
  MAKE SURE TO HAVE YOUR RECORDING PROGRAM OF CHOICE HAVE THE "Microphone (USB AUDIO CODEC)" AS A MICROPHONE INPUT AND YOU'RE GOLDEN!

Special thanks: Fuck you Glenn

Special fun fact:
I actually don't have a microphone stand for this microphone; I just popped it into its included little handle and have it hanging on the Thomann crate it came packaged in.

A microphone stand is very relevant though, as holding the microphone results in superior output to having it float around somewhere.

And here I thought I'd have to go buy some USB Blue Snowball at some point or something. Good info.
