I am trying to put together a list of computer parts that would be great for recording music and rendering songs. The music recording will be coming from an electric drum set that will be applied to singing and guitars to be rendered together. With that in mind I am not sure where to start in terms of the sound portion of the build. I can piece most of what I think I need together but I get lost in the sound card and programs needed to come with it.
I am looking to spend as close to $1000 which includes having to buy windows 7 as well. If anyone could help me out with this build that would be great.
