There are all sorts of free VST instruments and effects out there.
If you won't my personal opinion, the full studios are the way to go. FL Producer, Presonus, Pro Tools, etc, etc.
FL is the best bang for your buck, but I don't think you would ever use all the goodies that come with it. It may be overkill. Plus, it's really aimed at electronic music, but it works great for anything. Has many drum programs, any effect you need, and full editing capabilities.
I think you can get the starter Reaper download for free, an it's like $60 for a full license. Probably a good place to start. If it falls short of what you need, look into some of the bigger box sets. They all do pretty much the same thing, the user interface is just a little different between them.
Thanks, bro. I'll be reading up on all this shit and figuring it out.
I'd rather have more than less as long as it doesn't become a hindrance.

I can't wait to get my monitors in. It should make recording a much more enjoyable experience.

Yeah. All things considered, I feel like I got a good price and I'm looking at it as an investment.

You got a great price. It's definitely an investment, and a worthwhile one imo.

At least now I have no excuse not to channel all of my negativity into something creative.

I'm confused on what you are questioning.
He has everything he needs to get started, minus the DAW.
I hear Mexico is nice this time of year.

A DAW [ Digital Audio Workstation ] is the sum of the parts; Interface, PC and software.
He has the first two.
I think I'm confused by the way you are refering to things. :old:

It just depends on where you are. Around here, we all refer to our software as the DAW. A lot of people do.

You wouldn't even need an interface with those. I used an 1880 for years, until I gave it to my uncle. He still uses it every day.
I still use my VS-1880. It's what I've been doing all of my recording on here lately. I actually saw a 1680 the other day for $160. I thought about buying it and linking it to my 1880.
