I'm a guitarist/singer and I'm looking to record some acoustic stuff. I have a condenser mic, but I would need an audio interface. I'm not looking for a fancy setup, just bare bones really. Any recommendations for an open source audio workshop? What's my cheapest quality option for an audio interface?

Thanks!

cheap and good and easy - Behringer u phoria, plugs into your comp with usb, provides the 48v for your mic, you can use audacity as a GREAT versatile DAW that is miraculously free.

reliable, durable, simple monitor that's inexpensive for the quality.

Audacity:

incredibly stable, feature-rich, simple to use and almost fully customizable. still my favorite DAW

I've messed with Audacity already. It seems easy enough. I was thinking the M-Audio box, but this might be a better option. Thank you!
