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

Recording through a compressor is a "destructive" action, like EQing. There is no turning back. I'd record the vocals 24 bit and below clipping. Then you can compress afterwards by taste, DAW or outboard...
