[QUOTE="joerox135, post: 982033, member: 140349"] Recording is a very simple thing if you know what you're doing. To start off, you are going to need something called an interface. It simply coverts the analog signal that you microphone or other instruments output and converts it to digital signal. They're fairly cheap but can get very expensive. The cheapest one out there that I like and find of quality would be a lexicon alpha which runs at $70. The next step up which has more mic inputs and phantom power which i will explain later. Anyway, the next interface up from the alpha is called the lamda which I would recommend getting because it has phantom power, and two microphone inputs. These interfaces come with a USB connection to your computer as well so your computer can find it and it is also powered by your computer. Next you need to get a microphone. Now there are several microphone to choose from. I would recommend a condenser microphone for vocals because they're are really sensitive and they pick up the detail of your voice very well. If you want to put a microphone up to an amplifier for a guitar amplifier or bass, then you will probably want to use a dynamic microphone. Also phantom power is like a tickle of electricity needed to power condenser microphones. Here are some links to guitarcenter.com which are good audio equipment .
