I know that will need three basic things to begin building a Windows based computer recording system.
1. A relatively new and well performing computer.
2. An audio interface or a high performance computer
sound card.
3. The version of Cakewalk music recording software that fits
your needs.
If Is there any Another idea please share and how we can record a music on a windows computer???

If you want to save yourself a lot of aggravation (and money), I would first take a few months and read everything I could about recording with a computer. Tons of info on the web. You can possibly make do with a minimal setup, free software, etc. If you have RealBand, you already have a DAW. A cheap mic and interface and you're set.
Regards,
Bob

Why does this look like spam? But, nevertheless,
1. A relatively new and well performing computer.
2. An audio interface or a high performance computer

He is asking about recorded music.... grammer is a bit off but could be a non-native English speaker interested in this topic. I'd add: 4. A version of Band In A Box that is suitable to your needs. spend time with the tutorials and get to know what you're getting ready to jump into.

You guys are all too trusting - you must have big hearts.  I guess I am more synical. A single forum entry, with a plug for Cakewalk? But, time will tell.

I suspect that the O/P, not knowing where to start, just repeated/copied the pointers he/she had read from elsewhere. I really doubt it was intended as a deliberate plug for a specific brand.

I don't think this is a spammer. I think it's someone who is possibly thinking about starting into the home recording hobby and has no real clue on how to do it, or a good command of the language. Repeating, as Trevor said, some basic talking points heard on another forum.
To the OP Marssmith.
Yeah, a good computer, a nice USB interface, and perhaps MC6 from Cakewalk is a good start on a home studio.
I would add to that the PG Music software Band in a Box unless you play multiple instruments, this is the easiest way to have backing tracks for drums, bass, piano, etc.
And don't forget about a decent condenser mic for studio recording, some fairly decent studio reference monitors, some decent headphones, a 66 key midi keyboard, and a lava lamp.
That's the basics to really get you started into home recording the right way. I understand that not all of those may be affordable right now, but that's the goal you should work towards.

I stopped using Cakewalk products almost entirely once I learned how to use BiaB and RealBand.
