I have been a member of this forum for over 20 years. I never visit this place anymore, and the reason I visited today was simply remembering how and when I got started in the recording rabbit hole. Looking back, I have learned so much, and I asked a lot of silly questions. Cringe worthy questions. Like overthinking things questions. Anyway, best advice I can give as a seasoned engineer it this: Learn the basics of compression and eq, set your studio monitors up correctly (that means calibrate them!) LEARN YOUR GEAR and LEARN TO LOVE YOUR GEAR- If you do all of these thing, everything else will come naturally and in due time. One of my favorite mixing books is by Bobby Owsinski. Good luck guys- I wish you all the best. Signing off. -MD

If I want to record vocals will I need to buy a microphone?

No. A didgeridoo will do the trick. With lots of compressed chorus-ey reverb, chopped at the tails.
