Hi, i started a band, my biggest dream is recording my own music, but i dont have any idea on where i should start recording, I have a guitar, a condenser mic and a pretty cheap amp (im saving money for upgrades but i dont have any atm) i wanted to record with pedal effects but i dont have none either and in my country they are pretty expensive, i know i should start buying one by one, but i dont want to lose time, i downloaded bias fx but i dont know how to record it properly, i tried with audacity but it sounds horrible, i have an audio interface behringer uca222 but i dont know how to use it either, some advice on how to start would be really helpful, thanks
For a start that UCA-222 is not what you need - The UCA222 features two analog mono inputs for connecting any line-level device, such as a mixer or tape deck, and two analog mono outputs for connecting active speakers or studio monitors.
You need an audio interface that will supply 24 volt phantom power for the condenser mic and/or has an instrument-level input for plugging in your guitar.
Homerecording is not for those who have little money, it's a long road with more gear needed for some time - decent monitor speakers, acoustic treatment, a real DAW (not Auadacity), like Reaper, which is the cheapest full-feature DAW, but if you buy a good USB audio interface, it usually comes with a limited-edition DAW of some type.
