Alright. Buying a mic and gonna start making beeeaaats.

Oh the MXL Studio Condenser mic is a mic, indeed. I'm a recorder, not a mixer really. In terms of making beats, I don't know any software, but I've fucked around with these drum pads (Alessis Performance Pad, for example) that you can pioneer your own drum sound manually. In terms of programs that do that for you, I've never found any use for them.

Put it this way also, a compressor is something you need to put on everything. It equalises sound levels and fixes clips, so it generally just keeps all the sound that's playing at once in check. Filters can be used to clean things up. Get stuck into Audacity, it really does get you started. There's an Audacity forum website that I'm on, ask all sorts of questions and learn about everything.
