I Got like $6,000.. Im tired of using some1 elses studio i want my own, but not really sure what stuff i need.. So can some1 help me with everything, what programs and all?

There's Many programs You Could Use Like Audition Cubase You'll Just Have To Have A Look Around For Which Is Better

ull need much more than programs.
so u hav 6,000 but wut is ur budget on spending for equipment?

what i'd recommend is getting a usb audio interface... something like the m-audio fast track pro or maybe tascam us-144

those'll run u about 200 and will basically b ur control center for recording. they hav pre-amps to power condenser mics, and ins and outs for u to plug in speakers, headphones or wutever u need. if u dont get one of those, look for something with rates of 24 bit/96khz

also u'll need a mic. theres tons of mics out there, so i cant really tell u which one to get, but ur gonna want a condenser microphone with xlr output (not a usb condenser microphone) i'd recommend that it has a cardioid pickup pattern. also if the mic has a -10 db switch or attenuator pad then thats good. also, ur gonna want a mic with a wide frequency range. also pay attention to signal to noise ratio. higher ratio means less background noise.

other than that, u'll need a mic stand, pop filter and mic cable.
cables actually do make a significant difference in quality as well... i'd suggest getting a monster cable.. they hav a lifetime warranty, or i'd suggest mogami cable. it's better to pay a few bucks extra once then have the cable die and have to buy another one.

Yeah thanks guys, i am looking around alot and when i find a set up i will post it and see if i got a good set up and all...
