The audio interface I chose was the Alesis io4. It has four mono channels for input, so you can connect four microphones, or two stereo synths, simultaneously. The dials on it enable you to adjust the gain, so you can ensure that you record at a sensible level and don't push the volumes to a level where the sound distorts. This is particularly useful because some of the synth sounds come through "louder" than others, so you need to adjust it whenever you change the synth voice. For the output, I connected the audio interface to my hi-fi system, so the synths and computer backing now play back through my hi-fi, giving a much richer sound than I had with my PC speakers. My previous audio recording experience was limited to tinkering with four-track tape recorders at school, and recording with my home hi-fi. There were a few things that were hard for me to work out on the io4: it wasn't clear that the inputs were mono, for example. Although with hindsight it seems obvious that they would be (because you would want to be able to control the left and right channel independently), I spent some time trying to work out why one channel wasn't coming through. Getting the right combination of cables to connect my synths to it took several trips to Maplin too, given that the synths output through one socket (of one of two sizes), and the io4 takes their feed via two sockets. Once it was set up, it was trouble-free, and now I can easily plug in synths, the iPad and other instruments, adjust the sound levels, and record on the PC. Using Sony Acid Music Studio for recording The digital audio workstation (DAW) I'm using is called Sony Acid Music Studio. There are others out there that are more widely used (Ableton Live, Cubase and Reason are the three that feature regularly in the music technology press). Before buying Acid, I downloaded a trial version of FL Studio, a popular home recording program. I thought it might be a good starting point, and I did get some things working with it. I found it hard to navigate, though, and didn't find the help intuitive, so I emailed to ask for the PDF manual. I was told that the manual was only available to people who bought the product. That struck me as incredibly stupid, because the product was already limited (the sound dropped at random intervals), so withholding the manual as an upsell was unnecessary and stopped me from taking the product any further. I chose Acid on the strength of its reviews, and partly on price. It's a product designed for home users (there is a Pro version if you find it too limited), and it's priced accordingly at between 20 and 50, depending on which version you get. I have since got a copy of Cubase, which came when I bought my audio interface. However, it's easy to get distracted messing around with software. My advice would be to pick one (any one) and stick with it. You'll get much more out of trying to master one application than tinkering with lots of them. With the music I've been doing, I haven't really hit significant limitations with Acid yet, although I can see I might be prompted to upgrade for easier sample management.
While Sony ACID Music Studio is focused on music creation and multi-trackmixing, Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio 9 is focused on the end-to-endaudio editing -- recording, editing / restoration, encoding, and mastering (www.sonycreativesoftware.com/productinfo.asp?product=audiostudio).
