I think that is very good feedback and can't think why it would not be well received.
I want to be able to record well so badly that I am considering the following options for Q1 next year:
1) A new laptop and audio interface. I'd like to go Apple but they are more expensive. OTOH, I may save by buying once and not have problems with Windows drivers, etc, etc. If I go Windows, I need to research what type of bus (USB 2.0, Firewire, etc) and what audio interface. I currently have Focusrite 6 USB, but the laptop I have can't cut it; there are plenty of problems. Whatever I do I want a good set of monitor speakers so I can better hear what is actually being recorded.
2) An iPad 2 (is that the dual core?). I can just upgrade my phone to a i5, but I want a larger screen.
3) A dedicated recorder. I've seen some running for around $250-$350 on the
Sweetwater site that have good reviews.
I want to be able to plug in route the output from my iPhone or rig into it and get a clean sounding recording (ideally sans my mistakes). If I get the iPad then I could do the whole Jam -> AudioBus -> JamUp XT -> Multitrack DAW.
In a way I am glad that I am starting in music now... there are so many resources (internet being one of them), quality instruments can be found at low cost, etc. Now with virtual modeling the possibilities are endless. This is a great time to be a musician, IMO.
