Hey, all!
I figured this was the best place to post a cry of triumph for another step forward. This may seem like old hat to most of you veteran voices out there, but it's absolutely a huge deal for me, and I thought I'd share. :)

The main components to my equipment set have arrived. The picture is phone quality, so you can't see the detail very well, but here's a general list of my plunder:
- Marshall MXL 2006 w/shock mount
- Behringer Tube Ultragain Mdl. T1953 preamp
- Behringer MicroPower PS400 phantom power supply
- Yamaha RH2C stereo headphones
Looks like I'll be eating condiments for a few weeks. Oh well. I like mustard!
Cables, stands, supports etc forthcoming, have the supplies to make my pop filter (just haven't had time to sit down and do it), and have taken all the shelves and stuff out of my closet. I have some acoustic foam I bought from my boss (who just refinished his basement for his son's band), and will be lining the closet this coming weekend. I'm hoping to have everything connected by early next week (my first VA-specific lesson is next Friday, and I'm so happy that I could spontaneously combust). Am looking forward to practising on something better than a Logitech, and in something better than a drywalled room with a noisy PC.
My enthusiasm is nauseating, but in the best possible way. At least for me. I can't adequately estimate the strength of this board's collective gastrointestinal fortitude.
:afro:
Anyway, I'm most certainly going to have a treasure trove of "stupid little newbie questions" along the way, so thank you for existing. Not just for the technical information and resources, but for your stories of experience and realistic descriptions of the industry.
Cheers,
Lea
