Advice on a vocal studio needed.. please

[Macgenerate]

Okay, here is the deal. I am an admitted novice but I need to design a vocal recording studio for church choir recordings. I have a basic design for the actual studio itself, but I don’t exactly know where to start when it comes to the equipment I will need.

This needs to be as simple as possible and I want to do the whole process digitally using Pro Tools.

Basically I need to be able to record the church choir.
Save the Recorded session.
Do some basic mastering process at a later time.
Export the final recording for duplication.

What do I need? How does it all work? And who wants to help me lol


Additional Question :
What is the best way to record a choir, 60+ people? Should I record the entire ensemble in the same room or should I design the studio to have 8 isolation type booths for each “part” singing and give each part its own track?

In my opinion, you're better off recording the group together, but with multiple mics, some close, some far. You're going to spend some significant cash for Pro-Tools gear, and you'll need an array of mics (and probably a mixer). Depending on your budget, you might want to explore other packages before deciding on ProTools.
