Hey all,
I've been playing guitar for about two years now and I'd like to start recording my progress. I'm simply a play at home guy who plays along with backing tracks (mostly from youtube) and at this point have no intention of doing anything more than sharing with friends and maybe posting a few videos or tracks on youtube.
There's so many ways to go with recording that I'm a bit overwhelmed. I'm pretty much technologically challenged so simple would be good. I have Audacity (which I find more than a little confusing) and a Boss BR-600 that I find equally confusing. I recently tried recording me playing with a backing track using the BR-600's built in mics. I was pretty happy with the results.
The issue with that is converting the tracks to MP3's or whatever I need to do to save them on my computer. A friend suggested a hand held field recorder that records in MP3 format. That seems like a good solution but as I said, there's so many options.
As far as cost, I'd like to keep it on the low side under $500 if possible.
So I'd really appreciate anyone's input as to what a simple method that would produce good results knowing what my parameters are.
Thanks in advance.
