[QUOTE="jeromejwatson, post: 701050, member: 49273"] Here we go; A - Garageband will definitely do, you can even click and drag songs into it. It also has a pretty expansive collection of pre-made beats, melodies, samples, etc, so you can build your own songs from those clips and eventually you'll understand it well enough to create your own music from scratch. B/C - The MacBook Air actually has a built-in mic, so there's no need to plug anything in at all. If you do learn an instrument or want to record anything by plugging it in, you'll need a USB Audio Interface, but it sounds like that won't be a problem if you plan on only recording vocals. D - Personally, I'd just fiddle with the pre-made stuff in Garageband and just create something from it. E - Not sure exactly what you're asking. Quick guide to recording via in the in-built mic; Open Garageband. Select Track>New Track... Select 'Real Instrument Track'. Click OK. If you want to hear yourself through headphones, plug them in and select 'Monitoring ON' just under the instrument library bit. [/QUOTE]
