I just got into this home recording stuff and decided to go and buy some equipment on a whim. While I have been doing it for 10years on hand held mics without interfaces and preamps I decided to try and showcase my "talent" with equipment that is a little better. I bought a Samson co3u condenser mic, a M-audio Fast Track interface and M-Audio Audio buddy preamp connected with monster cables. When I record the tracks though it just does not come across as studio quality or anything I would even want to burn to a CD. I'm using Virtual DJ and Wave audio (had Nuendo 3, but could not figure it out). I know I'm missing some other equipment but I've heard budget setups that sound awesome. I forgot to add that I am also recording in a booth that Iconstructed. My question is do I need a mixer or a compressor or do I just need to switch to a different program to record? I am not happy with how the vocals sound as of right now, so any help is appreciated.
