For sxiteen years playing live in a bedroom. I'm finally getting bit by the recording bug. But I'm just wanting to ask for some advice to steer me in the right direction. I think I want to go PC based.
My Computer's Specs:
Athlon XP-A 2200Mhz
512MB Ram
80GB Drive
One thing is for certain. I'm going to need another PCI card. I haven't got any 1/4" inputs at all. The one thats there now has a line out, line in and a mic input(all 1/8").
Would it be wise to boost the performance at all. More RAM, slave drive, etc, to avoid latency.
Or just get a new tower.
All I'll be recording is electric guitar.
My idea was just to run my guitar through a PODxt. I haven't got an amp worth using for recording(JCM 900 head, which of course has no stereo loop). Which that amp hasn't allowed me to use my G-Major. And of course I'll need either monitors or headphones for mixing. Any recommendations on recording software? Would a separte mixer be needed. I haven't go a lot of money to invest in all of this. $1500 at the most.
I don't need my recordings sounding anything "professional" really. I'd like them to come out somewhat decent. I'll be the only one listening to my recordings.
