So I might have to move up the line.
Also in the midst of improving my vocals/ vocal-playing, I might want to polish the song a little to put on Soundcloud which audacity or Darkaudacity would do..
I will look into garage band
So what's the update? What did you go with?

I'm looking at this bundle

Well, with 4 pages of responses, I guess you've got all the options. I've always loved multitracking, and I've got essentially the same as the above package, except with Scarlett 2i2 for the audio interface, Cubase Elements for the DAW, and a $50 mic, which I don't use much. I'm more an instrumentalist though, and I plug right into the interface or run through an amp to the interface. I'll usually lay down a rhythm track, then keys, then....?

If you're not multitracking, and you just want to record your playing and singing at the same time, the DR05 is going to handle that. But I recommend taking it to the next level. I'm not that much of a recording tech, but I guess I do get into a little production.

Good luck and merry Christmas!

Default Sweetwater purchase

Is this easier to use than Garage Band? Every time I open GB it confounds me.
Thanks!

Only with the Computer mic and the Tascam DR05 which that sounded pretty good..
But for Christmas, I got a Zoom R8 and so I've been playing with that..
The recording in my signature was done with the Zoom.. but I need better mic's so I've ordered an AT2020
The best I had was a Sennheiser 945 which seemed bright when using it as a room mic (36in away pointed up to help tone down the Acoustic)
The AT2020 will be here for next weekend play time.
I'll redo all my recordings than

You're going to find that you like the R8 much more when you use it with a condenser mic. You'll be able to close mic, turn your gain WAY down and drastically improve the noise level of your recordings. Do use it at the 24 bit setting!

For what it's worth, youtube has instructional videos on just about evrything, and many of them are quite good.

Yes, I was responding to your post where you said you'd ordered the AT2020.
