Hi all:
I am just a guitar player. Total, total newb on recording.
I wonder what is the minimum gear/software I need to get to be able to record solo acoustic steel-string guitar (1 or 2 tracks, layered - just 1 track at a time) at a quality level high enough that I could take the recording and play it back over a live sound system as a backing track to live playing?
I'd love the whole setup and software to be dead easy to setup and use, as I'd like to focus much more on the playing than the recording. But I do need the sound quality to be very good if this is going to be useful.
I have a recent-vintage desktop computer (Core2Duo e7300, XP, 2 GB RAM), my guitar and nothing else. I don't mind if the microphone and other gear are suited just for acoustic guitar, as that is all I will use them for.
Thanks a lot.
