[TheOreoMonster]

And if you are looking for a decent inexpensive and well performing interface to get started, look at the Behringer u-phoria range. The 202HD is a great starting point.

Work space so I can add effects, drums and other backing tracks or instruments to individual tracks then mix, trim or otherwise modify each track and then combine them into a final version, perhaps mp3.

Are tracks kept in sync via the Audio interface when recording and playing, sort of a loop of the combined tracks through say headphones,  or will adding effects to one track put it out of sync with other tracks.
