I like that I can record ANYTHING from the internet and save it as an MP3 file. What I don't like about it is the volume controls are clumsy (editing) and non existent for recording. My favorite all time sound editing program was by Macromedia, called Deck 2. They sold the program to ????? But it was so intuitive and just made sense.
What I am looking for is a really good microphone, and a mixing board. I like the hands on of a mixing board. I used to use a Shure Microphone with a Bass roll off that I loved, but have not seen in years. I like a very warm sound, with a slightly exaggerated Bass pick up. My clarity and enunciation are present so I don't need to up the "crisp sound". LOL I love sound equipment, I really want a fabulous sound studio at home.......

i bet you were using the sure sm7 - that's an awesome mic on a lot of vocals
it has a bass roll-off and a presence boost selection and get in close there's a sweet proximity effect not too crazy
it sounded surprisingly good on a guitar cab too
i've also used the electrovoice re20 - the fraiser mic
and i've tried a re27 - but it seems to have a slight bump in the presence 2k-4khz and a reduced proximity response comped to the re20
i've been told that a crisper sound is what you need for radio work - is that true?
