I don't often like the sound of what I hear on the radio since I find it overly processed. I'm looking for something very simple, authentic, natural and straightforward. I won't be autotuning the vocals or adding reverb.
Even though like most I am not pitch perfect But I can carry the basic tune (I am guessing like many or even most) and I don't use or see the need for auto-tune for myself .

But I would not dismiss judicious use of reverb, eq,or compression, per se (out of hand) like many things it is a matter of degree that makes the difference between judicious and overdone.



I should think a Neumann ( depending on which one and how it sounds with your voice) and the a Scarlett would be a great start, and serve you well for a good long time.

Myself I currently use a ADK Z Mod 251 LDC tube mic for vocals , I used to use , and still have, a Brauner Phantom V FET LDC (somewhat like a Neumann U87 but a bit flatter response in the upper mids)
For acoustic guitar I used to have a Schoeps CM6 -MK 4 SDC, but now use a pair of AEA N 22 ribbon mics
