I know there are people on here who make these cds so what do you recomend? i'm a dedicated fruity user and want something that is mostly .wav files and rippable audio. Also, for recording vocals straight to cooledit, should i just use my soundcard's sound in port (it's a SoundBlaster Live) or should i invest in a pre-amp? mind you, i'm only 16 and currently unemployed, so lets not have you lot recomend a $40000 setup! cheers t-man

Joe Meek are great for the price (under $300US), the Shure is a quality mic which is very respected and very robust (though not very expensive - under $100US) - this will really improve the quality of the sound going into the soundcard - and the samples will help you get started without a synth (about $50 - $100 / CD set). 1 sample CD will go a long way.
