Re: How to get started recording?
This is an idea. I own this software

You'll need this to interface to the computer.

There's a start.

Re: How to get started recording?
Depends on what you want to record. If you'll be playing an instrument and singing, for example, you'll need an interface with at least a couple XLR inputs to tackle vocals as well as amps/acoustics. Other than that, get decent software and a good set of headphones, and enjoy!

All you need to make a record is a mic, some tape and maybe some bad reverb...

Re: How to get started recording?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Man... that's soooo true!
Too funny...
To get started on a computer, you need a computer that's up to task. Something fast, with lots of ram & harddrive space, and really... a separate drive for files and one for the system & programs.
You'll also need some kind of interface... I/O with converters and probably a mic amp... ideally it'll have some kind of monitor/speaker control as well. Otherwsie that could be another box. And then software...
And a microphone.
At the least, it's a few hundred bucks for everything... up to thousands of dollars for a single piece of gear, like a pro level converter or even the software.
You could/should maybe also look into a standalone box like a Tascam or Yomama portastudio w/ CD burning.
Usually not much of a learning curve with those... sometimes just getting the DAW/computer to run can be a hurdle...
If you're really computer savvy you might not have too many problems... but dealing with latency & clock issues, pops & clicks can be a drag. Even when you know what's up... Not to mention all the other maintance that goes into keeping a system running...
Tape.
Funny... today I've got on my rec.audio.pro shirt...

"My tape machine can beat up your digital workstation"
hahaha
Too funny dude.

Re: How to get started recording?
I use a lexicon Omega run through my 160 gig computer. I also use the steinberg program that come with it ( cubase Le). I feel the problem is learning what does what and how to use it.
I sometimes want to go back to the old tape system and say the heck with it.
