stuff in recording in a computer

I just want to ask what kind of hardware, software etc(or u just connect ur guitar directly into the computer..) do you need so u can record some song on the computer.

thanks

Well, at its most basic level:
some recording software, a sound card, some form of monitoring system.

You can spend as much or as little as you like and the relationship between "net end quality" and "money spent" is not always linear.....

but lots of cash helps.

Excluding instruments, the computer and the DAW, I have spent about $10K on recording kit. It is a very nice system however, given an unlimited budget, I could happliy spend another 20 in about 5 min !

However you can start with a soundblaster a metronome, a guitar and a cable

or a Tascam 424 mk III which was where I started !

thanks!!! ;)

If you're on a shoestring budget like I am, try Cool Edit Pro software (available now as shareware).

I connect to my sound card out of an inexpensive mixer using a plug adapter. (I had to adjust a few settings in my sound card setup)
I also bought a copy of PC Drummer Pro. (Best $55 I've spent in awhile).

Granted, this is a low-tech setup, but it was a great way for a rookie like me to get started recording.
