I am setting up my home studio and wanted to know if i require a hardware based Compressor for the vocals as I record them or if there is a way to get round it and compress as I record with various DAW software.. like Logic, Ableton Live 4 or Tracktion? I am trying to save a little money and this is not a commercial studio as I am sure you have guessed but I definitley want to compress on recording then do a little more in the mix stage on the Vocals

I use A hardware based compressor so that I do not clip going to the ADC's. You can get away with out one by making sure you have your levels under 0db and they never clip.
