Thinking about creating MTV style videos and recording the vocals in
a condenser mic. Anyone has any experience with this. This is for personal
use, not commercial or anything professional. Just want to get a decent sound.

I got an AT4045 mic with Line6 ux2. Problem is,
there is a hiss in the recording output when phantom power is on.

Is there a reliable interface for recording vocals(singing)?
Will h4n work since it has a phantom power input?

Based on my research Apple Duet and RME Baby face seems to be the best option
since they have a built in preamp. Still researching If there are cheaper alternative.
 
For Stand alone: Zoom H4n ($299) or Tascam Dr100 ($305) for audio on the go to record voice or singing.

For Computer: Protools mBox. ($200) Great mic pre's and very clean.
 
+1 for Mbox. Pro Tools = industry standard for audio recording. It's always good to learn Pro Tools. (I'm a music guy)
 
Thanks guys. What do you think of the Presonus or RME?
I'm not sure if Tascam Dr100 is sufficient enough for vocal recording(singing).

It's good to have something portable and the same time use as a recorder
for condenser mics.
 
Why do you want to record vocals?
The vocals on most album recordings are made with pretty sophisticated and expensive equipment. Anything you do on budget equipment as part of a film making process is going to be a compromise.
Compromise isn't a bad thing, as long as you realise it's a compromise.
When promoting their recordings with music videos, most artists don't want to sound compromised.
As a way of documenting a live performance, your idea sounds fine, except recording vocals but no other element of the music is also a compromise.
