Hey all,

Just wanted some feedback. I've been playing my CBG for a little over 3 months now, and was wondering how folks around here make recordings. More specifically, how folks record to a computer file. Yes, I have a video camera, but I want strictly audio files. I have a Mac computer...and it has Garageband software (I've never used it though). I have a friend in California, and we'd like to do some writing together, so I'd like to send him some files to work with. He's got gobs of equipment, so I'm sure he'll have no issues reading any kind of files.

I'd love to be able to play my CBG directly into my computer, here the sound coming through my computer speakers (Creative), capture the recording, and even be able to manipulate it to clean it up and/or edit things. I think this would be a huge help in composing stuff as well.

So...if you have a computer and some software, tell me all about what you're doing. It should be noted I DO NOT want to go high-end here, as I am still a noob, and I don't want to be bogged down with a huge learning curve to operate things. I want to keep things very simple for now.

I wrote my Sweetwater rep today and he recommended this device:

And I think awhile back he also recommended this thing too:

I have a DAW similar to the one you've posted, and it works great.  I use Audacity though, not Garageband.
