Sounds pretty awesome what you are doing. As far as the mic goes, I recommend getting a condenser microphone for vocals, acoustic guitar, more delicate sounds.

It even includes a shock mount!
If you plan on recording more electric guitars, louder sounds, get a dynamic mic

I recommend this mixer

I know it is a little bit above your price range, but it is so worth it. It has built in phantom power for the condenser microphone, and it has an USB output. But you would probably have to get some kind of cord so that you can plug it into the ipad.
So if you buy that equipment, you should be on the path to good recordings!
If you have any questions, we would love to hear from you!
