Whats up,

I've been asking questions here and there and no one has given me exactly what I need. Im glad I found this board.. Thanks to google

Alright heres My question. What do I need to start recording?

Things I have so far:

Computer:
AMD Athlon XP 2000+ 1.7 Gig processor with ram of 512 ddr, Im upgrading to 1 gig ram pretty soon

Software:
Reason 2.0
Sonar ( I believe 2.0 )

Extra stuff:
MidiMan Usb Controller Radium 61 keys
Headphones
Guitar

Okay now that I have some of that stuff out the way, what else do I need? I need to know a list of things I need to start recording. What hooks up to what, and what do everything do. Please help me

You have enough equipment to start recording.

I would suggest that you get a sound editor, such as Sound Forge 6.0 AND a nice set of monitors (I don't know your budget, but I would suggest Event 20/20's).
