Hey all, I'm new to the forum. Last time I was in a recording studio there were no cell phones, no internet, no PCs in everyone's home, and so on. I'm trying to set up a small and simple home recording studio intending to record myself one track at a time with acoustic instruments and vocals for bluegrass/gospel music. I'm not looking to record professionally but for my own satisfaction, I want to have a better sound than simply strumming the guitar while singing into my cell phone. I will also be adding 5-string banjo, acoustic bass, and sometimes harmony and piano. And one last note, I have pick-ups on all my acoustic instruments to record electronically. Now to my question.
I'm running into walls with interfaces, DAWs, and so on. I have a very limited knowledge working with an old analog mixer. I have headphones, condenser mics, an android smart phone, and a Chromebook. Can anyone tell me in basic terms what I need to get the vocals and instruments into MP3 or .wav files? All the tutorials and YouTube videos seem to assume the listeners already know how to use everything and nothing seems to be compatible with a Chromebook. I really don't want to break the bank to do this so any help, links, equipment, and so on y'all can offer will be appreciated. Thanks.
