Inspired by the new gear thread..

Still haven't worked out how to use everything but I'm getting there. I think learning the ins and outs of garage band is the real problem. It works though, I can record and all that... just don't know a lot about levels and EQ and what not.

very happy with it..

Tascam us-144 audio interface:

mxl 990/991 microphones. one for vocals and one for acoustic guitar recording:

and a mic stand and two mic cables

all plugged into my 24 inch imac (love this bitch)

Already had the imac, but the mics, two cables, and the audio interface were all together for 200 bucks at guitar center.

now i just need to learn how to play guitar :cry:

garage band is pretty user friendly, and it's all i need. not to mention it came with the computer... if i ever master garage band I'll move up to logic
