^thats agreed.
I just started using protools and its easy to do the basics, harder if you trying to go all out.

but its definately worth it.

as for the Mbox.

I got the mini (as opposed to already having an Mbox 1)
but the mini is good for straight vocals. if your looking for midi you'll need the step up because thats the one capability not on the Mbox Mini. so if your planning to also make beats with ProTools you'll either need a different midi set up or a different mbox.

but for straight vocals i agree with Rose, i still have to get a reflection filter but i have most of the stuff he showd (well..different brands but still..)

dont go overboard with it...if its just a home set up keep it simple... anything worth dropping serious money on would be better spent with studio time and an engineer and im not just saying that because im an engineer!

seriously tho, my home shit is just an mbox mini, rode nt1a, and a treated portion of a room....but since i can mix its no big deal....what im trying to portray with this is, when i actually record important stuff, i go into a studio

$800 is more than enough to get a decent setup.

The RODE NT1A is an extremely solid mic. You'd be hard pressed to find a better one for the same price. I purchased one years ago and I couldn't have been happier. I'd advising staying away from the MXL mics personally.

Don't look over the cables that go with it either. Invest in some high quality XLR cables like Mogami Gold or something along those lines. After all, the cables are what the sound travels through to get to your mixer, so if you grab the cheap ones your quality is going to sound accordingly.

No need to go overboard though, just the basics and you should be good.
