I'm the vocalist for my band here at home, but I've never dabbled in music at all whatsoever. My question regards gear I would need to get for practices as well as in-home use. I'm also a college student and during the week I'm an hour away from home, so if I come up with any ideas for vocals lines and/or melodies, I want to have the right equipment necessary to be able to record them and then send them to my bandmates. So for those that have technical knowledge and experience and know what I would need to get as far as mics, recorders, etc., your help and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

usually at jams our vocalist just uses a cheap mic and guitar amp. usually at gigs vocal equipment is supplied
