Hi guys,
I'm starting to get into the whole home recording thing, as the band I am in is only interested in your stereotypical hard rock/metal so I want to record my own ideas and eventually maybe an album. The thing is my equipment is rather limited and I have no idea where to start with buying new gear for recording or mixing. I'm looking more towards the amp sim/modeler way as I can't crank my peavey 6534 enough to get a good tone at bedroom levels.
Here's my current gear for "Recording"
Laptop: HP Envy Beats 2002ea:
Hardware: Guitarport
Speakers: Cheapo ones bought form Curry, like £40 haha:
Guitar: Soon to be rg1527 with D-activator Bridge and Liquifire neck, Epiphone Les Paul with SD Blackouts.
As you can see I'm kinda limited. My first plan is to replace the guitarport as it can only playback in mono so I'm not hearing the amp sims to their fullest at all. However I am stuck to either USB 2.0 or 3.0 so I'm not sure what the best audio interface is to use. I'm looking to buy used, preferably under £150/£200 if possible.
Any help would be great!
