Ok, complete noob here.
I'm considering getting into the fine field of taping, but I have a very limited budget.
I mainly want to record my school band, record several of my friend's bands, and possibly for making movies.
I'm making a little money off of movies I make regularly with friends of mine and i have some money put away, but even buying the Studio Projects c4s at $300 will be stretching me.
My questions are, can I use my computer and lcd with a soundblaster live 24-bit edition to make the same quality recordings?
I also have and ipod mini and am hoping and praying that ipl will release a line in recording feature for it.
I'm hoping to make enough money off my first few shows to buy a recorder and other such things, but for now, can I get by with the mics, a computer and patch cables?
All help and advice appriciated.
