About one of those newer USB mics that don't need what they call phantom power. I want to record my voice to harmonize it, then sing live with the harmonized part on some of my songs, but that won't be till later I need to get an extra patch cord & that mini plug stereo splitter you said & some other stuff. I have family in the area & I go there alot anyway. I plan to hook everything up like you said, then using that existing Cyote sinth in BB just to learn how to work everything, just for the physical mechanical parts of it if you know what I mean. Then I'll get that Forte sinth you talked about, and go from there. If everything works out & I like that, then I'll have saved some money & may consider selling my existing amp and getting a Bose system, which is way easier to lug around. Got that idea from surfing through the forums. Anyway, I like going in that place. I'm going to take advantage of some of the free classes they offer about just the stuff we've been talking about. I think I understand some of the basic terms & stuff a little better, enough so that it ain't all going over my head & I can ask the right questions. Let me know if you see any flaws in any of these my plans that I've just layed out. Thanks again.
