Am I on the right track here?

Sounding good so far but I don't see a PC mentioned anywhere. Get a PC that's already setup as a DAW. Look on Musicians friend to get some ideas and then shop around. Look on EBAY for the models on MF, alot of sellers will offer you a warranty and the whole 9 but you can usually score a deal. The PC I use for recording is one I bought off EBAY. Complete PC for 500 bucks. It's a P4 2.2ghz with 1.3 gigs of DDRAM and it came with a 17 inch LCD monitor plus keyboard, mouse, original copy of XP Home. My motherboard only has a 400mhz front side bus and I would like an 800mhz but so far it hasn't slowed me down much.
