Hi.
Some years ago I used Propellerhead Reason to create some music on my computer. This worked like a charm, but I never got around to actually adding real instruments (like for example guitar) to the mix.
Now I'd like to pick thing up, and get started creating music again. I'm sure I'll be quite happy creating most of the music on software like Reason, but I need a way to record other intstruments as well (first and foremost guitar, voice and electric piano). This is where i need some advice...I'm gonna need a microphone to record the instruments/voice, but can I just plug it directly into my computer (into the mic input mini jack)? For the time being I can do with recording one instrument at the time, so I guess I won't need any physical mixing device.
And what kind of software do I need to mix the music created in for example Reason with the audio recorded with the microphone?
I'm not dedicated to using Reason specifically, so I'm open for using other software. I've heard good things about ProTools, but since they don't offer any trial downloads, and I don't want to spend a lot of money on software I'm not sure if I'll like, I'm not sure if I'll go for that one.
Best regards,
