Hi, no, I don't have an interface yet, was planning to start with something like Motu, Focusrite 2i2 or Audient, entry level stuff since I am a beginner. I would like low latency and direct monitoring, but I can't decide yet because I can't try them since I don't have a pc.

Hi guys, I am building new pc for music making and video editing. I am a beginner in all this and my budget is around 1400euros. I would like to record electric guitar and make basic rock songs and also short videos for Youtube, nothing fancy. Can you please recomend me should I go with Amd or Intel, or it doesn't really matter considering my budget? This is my main concern at the start. Thanks!

Ok, these kind of 'simple to understand' answers is what I was hoping for, great! I am tryin to get the basics, so that when I start recording, I lose as little time as possible thinking about technicalities, and spend more time developing riffs and solos and actual song. Although I'm aware that recording is a long term learning process. Thanks all

Thanks to all. Ok, so guitar is mono, right. For drums, I will not use real drums, but a plugin in Cakewalk. And then I will make separate tracks for drum elements (snare, ride,...) and then I will use step editor to lay my drum beat for entire song. I find step editor much easier than piano roll. So as I understand, these tracks will also be 'mono', not stereo, but when I press play, I will hear the drums on both speakers, right? This is what I am trying to understand.

Hi guys, I'm a new user and starting to record rock songs in Cakewalk. Before that I would like to determine some stuff that I'm still not familiar with so I have a question about stereo and mono recording - which one to choose when recording guitars and which one for drums? How is it usually done? I will make drums with every drum part on a separate channel (snare channel, hi-hats channel,..) so I can pan them easily later - so before I start - should these drum channels bi in stereo or mono? And also, when recording guitar (solo guitar channel, rhythm channel,..) should I do it in stereo or mono? I will record guitar through audio interface (no miking). Thanks, I appreciate your help
