Help me get started

I want to utilize a computer for recording; have been using a Tascam neo2488 "studio in a box." Oh, it's driving me crazy. Nothing is easy or convenient on there. I really long for the days of an actual physical, knob eq in my fingers. Can I get a little mixing board, run mics in to that, and then run from the board in to a computer with "DAW?" What's the best way to do this?

Best Affordable Laptop and Software

Hi all,

I have decided to buy a recording computer and recording software to finally get my stuff on tape. I was wondering if any of y'all could recommend me a good, affordable laptop ($500-$1,500 range) and a good recording software program? I am looking to load my own tracks into the recording software, so programs like Reason don't work for me.

Thanks!
