New to recording. Can someone lend a hand?

[SouthSIDE Glen]

Haha i had a feeling they were crap. I keep seeing things about the toshiba sattelite, though. Is that what you use for your recording??

That's what I use for some of my mobile work. I have a Gateway tower that I use mostly in-studio, though sometimes I'll have them both running on a network when I need to share files.

and would it record MY synth sounds? because with FLstudio if i do that it does NOT record my synth sounds. It makes me choose one of FLstudio's peice of crap sounds.

if the way you tell me does record MY synth sounds..can i also edit it??

If you are using a true stand-alone synth (digital or analog), and not just a MIDI controller keyboard, and it has line outs that you can run to your USB I/O box, then yes you can record and edit it just like any other instrument. The interface and software don't know synths from shinola. They just take the line-in signal, convert it and record it whether the source is a keyboard, a mic preamp or a tape player.

If your synth is MIDI-based (just a MIDI controller) then that is a different animal. In that case it is not a "stand-alone" instrument, but rather just a controller for MIDI sounds generated in the computer.
