We really need to set up a sticky on this topic.

Okay, how much money do you have to spend, and what, if anything, do you already have?

Let's not forget the search function (as this is only covered several times every single day).

I don't think that's what's going on here at all. Lighten up.
For example, have you said what you've looked at and/or know about? Is it a blank slate?

nudge nudge...

Alesis has very shitty preamps. I just bought a firepod and it works perfect and sounds amazing. As far as mics, start out with a dynamic mic such as the sm57 or the audix i5 or maybe even the senheizer e609. Learn to mic your cabinet and figure out how to get the tones you want. Then learn to mix on the software. Mixing is another topic.

Oh and a big black dildo.
