so a friend of mine wants to get his mom a nice x-mas present. she is in a band and wants to be able to record vocals, and guitar onto her computer. i was looking around for some answers and came up with this so far:
get Mac OSX and use the garageband feature.
thats it.
the only problem is, how to record the vocals and the guitar. what does he need sound-card and hardware wise.
shes got a run-of-the-mill computer with crappy onboard sound, so obvisouly she would need a new sound card, and an adapter for the Mic and guitar to plug into the card, anything else, or what else would work?
he said she's got a pre-amp. now me not being a audiophile or even know how a guitar and amp works, i have no clue :P, so i need some expertise on the subject.
and i will tell my friend to stay tuned to this thread (as he is a member here HarlanC, but rarely posts)
