I'm an instrumentalist (primarily guitar - acoustic & electric -, piano (an electric-grand), and trumpet), and have been hoping to create a small home-recording set up, just for some instrumental tracks (perhaps vox in future, but I don't sing personally).
Right now, I do very dodgy stuff on an old web-chat microphone and Audacity.
I do however have a copy of Cubase on my laptop.
I generally record drum beats off the electric-grand, then add my instrumentation on top of that. However, I've lately had problems with lag (no doubt from the lack of pro set-up), and would like to have a slightly more serious thing.
I primarily record off my guitars (an electric, and an un-amplifiable acoustic, however I do plan to crystal-wire it sometime soonish), and then sometimes include piano or trumpet over that.
So what equipment (as a minimum) would be good to work with? I don't know all the terminology, so you might have to explain, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
