Hey,

I want to start recording some songs and I’m wondering what kind of equipment would be good. Since I have no idea I thought let’s ask it here first.

This is the gear I have:

- (semi) Acoustic guitar

- Electric guitar (with multi effect pedal and small amp)

- Electric Piano (I have a midi to usb cable, but not sure what I can do with that)

- Beyerdyamics headphones (good for recording)

- And of course I would like to sing (but no mic yet).

And here are some questions I have:

- Can I put my guitars in front of a microphone or would it be better if I connected them with a cable?

- My piano has a jack output for phones and a midi output which do I use to connect it?

My budget is around 600 $, but I don’t know what the normal price for gear like this is (I have more money but I’m not sure if I want to spend that much).

Any kind of advice is appreciated!! :)

Cheers
