a computer only has limited capabilities for good sound from the mic. I suggest the mackie dfx12 mixer at about $265.00. it has the built in effects, and is a small package. It has separate pic preamps, for each channel.

after investing in a great system like the hoster I'm sure you will want to also have great sound. that is what keeps the people knocking on your door.

I have to disagree with this comment! In a studio recording the effects for the mics comes from the plugins included in a pro software. A computer could give you better results than some external device, it's just a question of knowing what to use & how to calibrate.
First, a mic should always be connected to a Mixer that has a mic preamp built in and of course with an XLR connection. Never use the mic in from the audio card but the line in!!

The EAX Audio HQ (Sound Blaster) could give you better results than any Vocopro digital echo device!

I have mixed feeling on this one. Effects plug in's utilized through the program would be an awsome feature for Hoster, the snag would be, how to apply it to just the mic'd singer and not the entire track. That is why these things are best left to external processors. However, down the road, with the support of some other I/O device, where hoster could designate what is going to happen on what channel, then we'd have something. What do you say support, any thoughts about doing anything like this in the future?

Anything is possible... question is economic justification and what else is in front of "new requests".

Sometimes we skew prior requests to make room for a really hot new feature or necessary upgrade, such as fixing the PHM problem.
