Hi
I havent been in a band now for some 20 years and awfully rusty however, the world and tech has thundered on in my absence!
I see lots of home studio videos where people are dubbing themselves, practicing and recording themselves digitally and using headphones and all sorts of clever tech. So much so that it is quite bewildering to be honest and i dont know where to start and simply 'shut down' rather than try to crack on.
What do i need beyond my guitar?
I would like to practise with effects, practise with headphones, record myself and add to it (I have a copy of Reaper but not thrown myself at it) with guitar overlays, drums and anything else really.
A list of all the items would be great as it would enable me to start aquiring them and work towards this.
Thank you very much
Nat

Someone is always selling one here , just keep an eye out.
Most will come with software but you can stick with Reaper which seems good for beginners.
If you prefer a physical mixer, then these can also act your interface but you get the touchy feely faders etc....for more money though.

Are you doing live drums?....Do you sing and play guitar at the same time?....How many instrument for mics do you need to plug in / record at the same time?
Lets start there.

After that, you're probably looking at drum plugins based on what you've said. I like ezdrummer, but, there are plenty of other options.
That should keep you going for ages!
