Help on recording crapage?

[maggot_me]

I want to start recording and I have a windows vista laptop that never moves from my desk, and I want to turn my whole desk into like a mini recording studio I guess.....idk what crap to get, I am up to like a couple hundred bucks and I want it to look all fancy so when my friends come over they see the little purple twisty things and crap. So I need like a package or something for recording that brings like software and stuff.

Thanks,
Pedro

What are "little purple twisty things?"

tascam fw-1082 is a really solid interface and has motorized faders, they certainly look cool when they are zipping around, even if they aren't all that useful.

Get yourself a used Firepod. 8 simultaneous digital imputs. Enough to record a band live, or overdub however many guitar mics they want... I found mine very useful over the last 2 years.

if you want to get into recording, maybe do some research and see what you are getting into... for a couple hundred and ease of use, something that will give you instant results and compatibility with your computer would be something like a zoom recorder:

turn it on and hit record, play some, then transfer the files to a free or cheap daw and edit.
or just spend a couple hundred on led lights and a box of awesome and impress your friends.
and crap.

You want lights and thrills, no matter what else you get, you need this:

Regular Christmas trees ....will impress anyone (apart from also being the industry standard in fine-quality metering.)

Think of a Dorrough as the next best thing to a lava lamp in your production environment

....ok, I'll leave now.....

ok firts of all, replace your vista with xp. Windows really dropped the ball with vista.
