Hey all,

I basically want to start utilizing my iMac and do something I've wanted to do for ages...make music.

Now, I've played around with GarageBand before, but I want this to be quite a serious thing. Now, obviously I'll have to get me some equipment. I have a bass guitar that I'd like to hook up to the iMac and so I can record directly onto the computer, and then import it into an app, such as say GarageBand. Is there any particular bits of equipment I should consider?

I was also looking into getting a keyboard, could somebody recommend one as well? I am basically looking at three things...

- A Mic (so I can record vocals and stuff)
- Cable so I can hook up my Bass/Electric Guitar to the iMac
- Keyboard (for various sounds and to make creating the actual music easier)

Is there anything else I should consider or would need for starting to record my music?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Lee
