Another nice mic is the Studio Projects C1 which a friend of mine has and the results were also very nice.

The Apogee Mini-Me is a great recommendation! With it you´ll have great convertors and a good preamp. A cheaper sollution would be a Lnyx One soundcard combined with a Rane MS-1b preamp. I don´t know how much better the Apogee convertors are, but the Lynx One soundcard is a nice, fast, stable soundcard and a lot of GS-members like the Rane MS-1b preamp. If your looking at the used market the Lynx One costs approx. 220,-- USD and the Rane MS-1b approx. 140,-- USD (at eBay the lowest price was 60 bucks).

If you want a good cheap compressor for tracking and saving clipping than you must look for the DBX 160x... Save this classic gear.

I think that if he's looking to be sending off to a mixer, possibly investing in a comp isn't a good route. I know that if I'm mixing for someone and they've printed really crappy compression, there's nothing I can do to get it remotely close to where I would have it without the comp.

The Lynx and the Rane sound like a good plan to me as well...
