for those home recording action, i got myself an apple ibook ($$ ). i guess
there will be cheaper way to do so.
anyway, it came with a recording software "garageband" and its very easy to
use.
you can add as much as tracks as you want, quasi. lots of sounds to make out.
most of them are probably no useful, but with a cheap keystation i can play
the drums in real time, and thats by far no perfect, but it sounds not too
bad...
btw, im one of those amateurs and i could hardly await to add my two cents
(mustard) to that comp.
