Newbie Needing Start Up Gear

Hello all. First let me clarify a few things. I'm an accomplished musician, (legend in my own mind!), in no way an engineer, and am looking for recommendations on today's available hardware/software combo that can give a singer/songwriter a product acceptable for Taxi forwarding. Guitars and keyboards are my thing. Plug ins are pretty much an unknown to me. If it's possible I would prefer a mobile set up due to travel. I don't have deep pockets so that could be a limiting factor. I do find navigating through tracks with your finger instead of a mouse is limited with what I currently use. Latency is also a factor. Thank you in advance for your recommendations. Wayne.

Hi Wayne! I would recommend getting an Apple Macbook Pro and running Logic Pro. You can get a good small interface, external hard drive, a mini keyboard, one good condenser mic, a nice set of headphones, and a small set of decent monitors and be ready to produce in most styles. I would recommend calling Sweetwater, letting them know your needs and budget, and one of their sales engineers will get you everything you need. Hope that helps, and good luck! Doug
