I have been dabbling in home recording for a few years, and I have decided to pursue it more seriously. My initial reason for joining this forum is to see what equipment is getting the best results for others before I go out and spend wads of cash on things I don't really need. I also have a lot to learn about the recording process, and this seems like a good place to start. I am especially interested in learning how to record vocals. It seems that I can get a decent vocal sound when I play live shows, but I always manage to somehow mess it up in the recording process. I look forward to being a member of the forum.
