I'm looking to record my music (guitar and vocals) on to the computer. I did some research which suggested that I need something called an 'interface' to plug my equipment into, and some kind of recording software. I was told I don't need a mixer because that will be on the recording software. I was also told that interfaces usually come with their own software, and they often don't work with other programs.

So I want to know, what are some good brands for interface/recording software? Is it best to buy them in a package together like that, or seperately? I ask that because there might be some interfaces that don't require you to use specific recording software, and for all I know that might be the prefered way to go. What do you think?

Someone told me I should go with 'PreSonus Audiobox USB', but I wanted to get other people's input first.

Thank you
