Hello, I was wondering if I could get some help and advice regarding gear to purchase to record live vocals. I am an operatic soprano with a big, loud voice, and I need to record my lessons, rehearsals, performances, etc. for review purposes, and eventually to post to my website. I am planning on purchasing a Sony Minidisc (I don't know which one) and a microphone (I don't know which one). I tend to overdrive mics, so it is hard for me to find one that will work. Can anyone provide some basic help/guidance for me? I just need to get started with the basics. Thank you so much in advance for your help and patience. Regina
