For those starting out (with a low budget) I recommend the MXL V67G, Behringer UM2, XLR cable, pop filter, mic stand, and shock mount. Studio fees get pretty expensive when you are doing a lot of work, and buying your own gear will pay for itself in the long run.

I'm going to get started with the gear, as it's actually one of the easier parts to cover. Ok, strap in because there is a lot to cover here! And before I get started, remember that there is rarely one correct way to go about any of this, and everyone will have their own experiences and thoughts, and although different (sometimes very different) that doesn't mean that they aren't both valid.
