well..... I own a group called the spice boys(each actually has a permanent string pierced in their back, one string for each of my fingers) and I record vocal in my dps16 with an akg microphone and produce with a triton. that's all you really need. Oh yea you also need either a voice trainer.... or a really good effects box (I use midiverb4) but this one, unfortunately won't make crappy voices sound good.
