Thanks for all that. I hear your passion and humanity and generosity clearly. Actually I'm not afraid to sing as such. It's the technical stuff that had me apprehensive,




Yeah, I thought from your first post that that was what you were asking about.

As mentioned above, get something to record into, like Audacity ... a great free program.
I happen to use Mixcraft Acoustica:

Don't forget, that BiaB also comes with a sequencer included - Real Band.

The only other thing you need is a microphone.

The MXL 990 plugs directly into your USB port:

You're all set.
