You dare suggest that a Call of Duty 2 headset in a basement with the heat off so the heater noise doesn't swamp out the sound isn't up to Goon Christmas standards?

Actually it might be nice to have a quick primer for people with ideas but not practice for next year.

Things like:
If there's a mic out there for vocals that is better than a headset or lifecam but not expensive,
if there is "one wierd trick for recording quality" (I had a lot of background hiss, but couldn't get audacity's hiss reduction working well enough to satisfy.)
I had stumbled through multi tracking with audacity last year (though for some reason every additional track ends up with a delay that has to be manually adjusted.)
