All the recording stuff was about $500 all together. Then my PC of course. It just goes to show you don't need a $10,000 set up to do decent recordings. :)

no you only need a $10,000 set-up to record like 20-something tracks at once like dr. simon... if you just want to record one track at a time, a standard desktop PC and under $1000 worth of stuff will get you where you wanna be.

are you using studio monitors or PC speakers? if it's monitors then you have to add those to your cost too...
