David,
If you would be kind enough to provide me with the equipment list you have I'd be happy to help you achieve the most from your rig.
As for compression of audio levels? That depends on how much dynamics you want expressed in the program material. I prefer to compress vocals lightly if possible. 2:1-3:1 ratios and with a reduction in gain of just a few dB. You must play with the attack and release sometimes so as not to have induced artifacts i.e. pumping/breathing. If done correctly you can get a natural sounding track with lots of level while staying out of the overlevel range. Of course with digital you want to get as much level to disk as you can.
Also, if you are a small low budget studio you might try some dynamic microphones like the sure SM-57 or the Sennheiser 421 or 441 for vocals. Although these mics are not as sensitive to the delicate nuance of audio capture like a condenser they will also not be as sensitive to ambient noise.
I hope this helps a bit!
