Hullo, internet. I'm an aspiring musician, and I'm unsure what equipment I need for professional audio recording, as I don't think a $20 webcam mic will cut it. I know I need some sort of mixer and microphone, but other than that, I'm totally at sea. I'm completely comfortable with most other aspects of producing electronica, but this part I'm confused with. This might not be that relevant to this site, as it doesn't really have to do with remixes, but whatever. Any help would be appreciated.
