Ok so I have a computer, Software, Keyboard, Acoustic guitar and drums What else do I need?
Answer
Ha, cheapest price = 0, provided you have an internal mic on the computer :)
So, assuming that you want to record with better quality, what you'll need is some mics and an USB audio interface. The audio interface will allow you to connect the mics / instruments (guitar / bass / keys / etc) to the computer and into your software.
You've not specified any budget so I'm just going to give you some general options. You might want to google stuff that you don't understand.
Mics: If you're primarily looking to record voice and acoustic guitar at home, I'd recommend a budget condensor mic. Condensor mics capture a somewhat brighter sound and are well suited for acoustic guitars. Dynamic mics are sturdier than condensors (generally) and so they're used for gigging and for recording electric guitar amps at high volumes. Search for reviews on the AT2020 and SM58 / SM57. You can get away with one mic, but if you want to record drums you'd be better off with two. The more the merrier.
Audio Interface: Check out the M Audio FastTrack, Focusrite Scarlett, PreSonus AudioBox.
You'll need cables for the mics and instruments. That's about it. You might want to invest in a decent Digital Audio Workstation (or DAW) which is the software on which you'll record and arrange your music. Most of the audio interfaces come bundled with light versions of these so try them out and then decide what more you need. Or you could use freeware like Audacity. If on a Mac then GarageBand has all that you'll need.
There honestly are tonnes of different options on mics and interfaces so I've just given you a few to get started. Use google / youtube to get reviews. Forums on gearslutz.com and thegearpage.net will have loads more info.
Happy hunting!
Edit: Also visit online stores like guitarcenter.com and musiciansfriend.com. One - for the prices and, two - for reviews & ratings. Bear in mind that some reviews on these sites are written by people who don't quite know what they're talking about.
