I hope this works out...hello yall.
I know virtually nothing about recording software and hardware. I currently have a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop with an ESS Maestro soundcard, 256 MB of RAM, Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, Guitar Studio, and SONAR. I am thinking I might want to get an audio interface but I don't need many channels because I will probably only lay down one track at a time because I will record mostly only my own vocals and my guitars (electric and acoustic). I am also somewhat poor and cannot afford to drop too much cash on any of this, but I really enjoy writing and recording songs and am willing to wait to have enough money to buy something that will be quality enough to last me a while. So, if ANYBODY has any suggestions as to what I should look at, I would greatly appreciate it. From inerfaces, to mics, to software, I don't have much info on any of this.
