I've been reading thru info on the subject of recording but I guess I'm just challenged (in more ways than one) and hoping for some advice on the whole schameel.
What I got & think I understand:
A desktop computer, but it is the wifes (I have a laptop). Access is limited-tiny room with no room and have to wait till she is off it.
I can download Audacity and an MP3 thing on it though, and maybe use it to transfer something already recorded?
Lots of backing tracks downloaded, MP3s and MIDIs, but nothing convenient to play them on.
No microphones except the one that came with the desktop.
One elec guitar, one cable, one set of headphones and a Vox 30w Valvetronix.
What I would like to have:
Some device/s that I could use to both play/record backing tracks and record over. A rhythm/drum function is sorely needed as well.
I have seen multiple type devices (Digitech GNX?) that seem to offer some of this and more, and I'm sure there is more than one way to pull this off. The idea of consulting a salesperson at GC is way too scarey at this point in my learning curve. I know this is like recoding 101 simpleton stuff and a lot to ask, but any advice from GAS sharing budget minded Fretters would be more than appreciated. Christmas is coming and I've cleared my list of underwear and socks.
Thanks a bunch,
