[MusicTlk] general question about informal production and recording

[BlindEducator]

Your current setup would be ok for simple recordings.Audacity with a mic 
will do the job just fine. However, I would recommend an external mic 
verses a  build-in mic. So you may get a better sound quality. You don't 
need to go all out. Just a $20-$50 mic can do the job. If you like help 
specially setting up your sound card, feel free to message me. Good luck.
