[QUOTE="F430F1, post: 700969, member: 62860"] Hi guys, Thanks in advance for the help. I truly appreciate it. I am hopeful that some of you geniuses on here can straighten me out. Please be as detailed as possible in your reply. Treat me like the moron I am. :D Overview, I simply want to record vocals through my computer over an MP3 of the music. I do not play any instruments nor do I know how to compose music so my thinking is that I want to find music without the lyrics and sing over that into some program and be able to mess around with the vocals a bit if needed and end with a song I can save to disc. Is this possible? Is this the right way to do it? So here's the questions: a. What program/software do I need? Is the garage band thing that came with the computer enough? What's the best for what I want to do? Is it even possible to do this and be able to input the music into the program etc.? b. I have a mac airbook which only has a headphone jack and one USB port so I assume I will need to buy an external drive, correct? Is there any other external stuff I need to buy? Sound cards, vocal machines, a second brain to replace the one in my head? c. Do I need to buy a special microphone for recording on to the computer or is there a way my 'normal' mic plugs into the computer? What's the best? d. Is there even a way to find MP3's without the vocals? The only thing I have seen is karaoke discs which typically suck. Can I get just the music Mp3's online? Download em, buy em? help, God, I'm stupid. e. Is this even the best way to do this? I mean, I just simply want to sing over the music as if I was singing with the band and then maybe adjust the vocals a bit after the fact if need be. Ending with songs on disc and on the computer etc. Thanks again guys, HUGELY appreciated! [/QUOTE]
