All in one home recording

[Phil-osopher10]

Hello I'm looking for a device that I can purchase in the future, that will allow me to plug in my bass, mic or guitar into it and then into a a computer. What is good for this? sound cards? What is the tc impact twin like, is that what it can do?

The device you need is called a 'USB audio interface' (i.e. an interface that connects to your 'puter via a USB cable).

There are a bunch of different products on the market, and people will always recommend what they use themselves! ;-)

I myself use a Tascam USB-144mkII, which retails for around £130-£150. Price-wise, anything in the region of £100 and up is where you want to be looking, but there are some cheaper products available.

Your best option is to spend some time Googling and post back here with a short list of products you're considering, as there are plenty of folk here who'll be happy to give you feedback.
