Location: Phoenix AZ | If your computer has analog inputs, then the answer is yes. I would say 99% of computers have analog inputs, but the problem is that most of them are attached to pretty shitty/noisy soundcards. Might not matter if you're just transferring over your LP collection or something like that. But I am afraid that if you want to do any serious recording, especially of the quiet acoustic type, the noise floor of most cards will drive you nuts. And HERE is where the $$$ spiral of death begins ...

What Dave said.....but you can grab some decent stuff like Mike just did in the under $200 range to get started....Lexicon, Tascam US144 or US122, Line 6 Toneport, M-Audio Delta card.....there are tons available in the "won't break the bank to get started range".
Course, if you catch the bug, all bets are off! |

Just the mere thought of doing recording / audio , is proof of being bitten... :)

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Hey, I finally found the box I have been looking for since I moved a year and a half ago (the one before the move in January to our own home...ministry in the Methodist tradition)...in it were the Echo Mona pc/card, and manual, my complete Cakewalk Pro Suite 9, and an Alesis Sanctuary Q card...Just like Christmas...
The new stuff should be here by the end of the week...I'll use whatever is best and eaisest to use. Hopefully, I can have CD's before Christmas! |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | BTW, I just want to take a minute and commend our good friend Wabbit for his CD: Rest. I have not gotten my copy in the mail yet, but it's on order, and I did listen to it in ITunes...Really nice stuff! If mine will approach this quality, then I'll be a Happy guy...and, he plays really well too. Nice mixing/blending of the tracks...Well done! |

Having heard you sing and play I consider that valuable praise! |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | I'll try Reaper. That would be great as it would skip a step, and I can mixdown into the computer from my four track. Actually, for my purposes, mono works well and that lo-fi casette hiss adds to the charm. Plus, I can't afford the $$$ death spiral. |
