[MusicTlk] audio interface and/or 4 track digital recorder

[loucorbin]

Hi Robin,


I use a Yamaha MG 10 XU mixer. It costs $200new. It has four mic/quarter 
inch inputs plus two sets of quarter inch stereo inputs plus a set of 
RCA inputs. There are knobs and buttons to control everything including 
tone and reverb.


I found Reaper too hard to learn. I use Audacity. I record keyboard 
music as well as vocals. Audacity does everything that I need to do.


Good luck!
