I'm getting an Imac, plenty of power. I have logic express. I sing and play guitar and want to record songs.

I know nothing about what else I need to plug mic and guitar into computer.

I know I know, I'm clueless! Can someone tell me very simply what I need to get going

eg microphone, and.....?

Thanks,

I agree with azkid and MacDaddy on the microphone choices and also there are a couple of other good cheap microphones you may want to consider as well: MXL makes some great microphones as well as the Blue Ball and several mics made by Oktava....it all gets down to what you need them for. The ones I mentioned need phantom power so you would need to find a cheap pre amp or interface with it. As interfaces go.....If I wanted to go fairly inexpensive...I would consider the Line 6 Gearbox as it is cheap and has some nice goodies thrown in for good measure (there are also some nice effects available that can be used as plug ins for an inexpensive upgrade). Hope this helps!
