I’m a bass player, not really in a band, and I’m getting a drum machine soon and want to do some recording with that and my bass. Would I be better off getting a four track, or maybe some home recording software? I have Windows Vista by the way. Any suggestions?

I would start off with a basic Audio Interface such as this:
http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/PreSonus-FIREBOX-24bit96kHz-FireWire-Recording-System?sku=184133

This will provide you the preamps to directly record your bass and the MIDI input/output to connect your drum machine via MIDI cable.

I’d also recommend a Direct Box, which will allow you to record a clean sound from your instrument to the Audio Interfaces preamps:
http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Live-Wire-Solutions-SPDI-Passive-Direct-Box-with-Attenuation-Pad?sku=150449

This package also come bundled with some recording software that will be more than enough to satisfy your needs as you start out.

You could also add a studio mic to this setup as well using the additional mic preamp and phantom power provided by the Presonus Firebox. All you need is an available Fire Wire connection to your computer and you should be set.

We are an average rock band trying to not have to pay too much for recording studios.

We have all the normal components:
Bass Guitar
Drum set
Lead guitar
Vocals/rhythm guitar

What recording mic can we get for a basement band room?

I am going to assume that you only want to buy 1 microphone.
In that case you want to get yourself a large diaphrahm condenser microphone. In my opinion this is this the most versatile microphones you can get. It can record everything, and record it well.

I explain more about why this is a great choice here: http://recordingquestions.com/question/recording-equipment-and-software-suggestions/32#60

I am interested in getting more into music composition, home recording and sequencing. I have heard that Mac are superior in this field, but are extremely expensive. PC seems to have many of the same software and capability but at a much lower cost. What would you recommend?

I think I would like to be able to use Finale and Pro-Tools at some point.

The truth is that computers have nothing to do with audio quality and hit records are made with PC’s and Mac’s all the time. What you need to do is use the computer you are most comfortable with, doesn’t matter PC or MAC.

The faster the computer, the more realtime audio effects you can run on all your tracks at the same time. That’s the one thing you need to worry about.
