I just got a new microphone to record my guitar with a USB port on the end. But I thought that I would need a interface or something to improve and edit my sound. What do ya'll use to record your music? And is there anything else I will need?
I'm new to this recording stuff.
Thanks in advance.

A decent sound card helps.

Your first mistake was purchasing a USB mic. Really, the only improvement you can make with that is upgrading your soundcard. If you got a traditional mic with the XLR, then a interface would be necessary and quite helpful.

I got the mic free from a friend.

USB microphones are alright for gaming and recording voices but not vocals.

As Nic and Boni said, I'd suggest you buying an audio interface and an XLR Mic. I personnaly use a UGM96 as my audio interface (which is USB), and I connect my guitar or my mic to it. Guess you can buy some pretty nice stuff for a hundred dollars, maybe a little more.

I'm also onto this thing with recording.
I don't really know the idea of quality how it can differ, so can anyone tell me if there is a big difference in quality when it comes to having a well sounding guitar for example?

Ok, well I'm now looking to buy a mic with that. But will I be able to use my pedal board with a interface?
Can someone explain what I need to do and how it works?
And also, any rec's for software and mics?
Thanks.

pick one. buy it. use it. be confused. figure it out. have orgasm. get more confused. get angry. contemplate throwing it off a cliff. accept defeat. do as it says. be happy.

They are all to expensive for my price range :(
I was looking at the Lin 6 POD's.
