I am looking to do some basic home recording and really need some expert input into doing this with a cost effective, versatile, easy to use setup please.
I recently purchased a Zoom H2n which is perfect for basic recording of ideas but I need a little more. Life has changed somewhat since I relocated to CT and whereas when I was in JHB I used to get the basic song down with acoustic guitar and then take it to practice and add in instrument parts as I developed the song for live use but now I don't have access to this opportunity. I am also experimenting a little more with rudimentary instrumental melodies now as well.
So essentially I am looking to add basic vocals, electric and acoustic guitars but have the facility to add a few instruments and/or rhythm parts via software (maybe drum and bass etc). While it is still in the idea phase, I am also looking to develop a duo set with acoustic and electric guitars but need to work out/experiment with the parts etc myself first.
The sole purpose would really be to develop ideas, parts etc and get the song down and maybe put something on the web to get feedback etc but I have no aspirations to develop a recording studio for anything other than that so costs and complexity needs to be focused on that purpose only. (Windows based pc)
Simple (to use and set up), cost effective, efficient and fit for purpose is what I am looking for...help
