Asking for a friend who has a birthday coming up. She had a rough year in 2023 and I really want to surprise her with something to record with, but I don’t know really anything about recording any kind of audio. She’s got an electronic keyboard and a bluetooth speaker & microphone but thats it. She also really likes to freestyle!
a 2x2 (“2 in, 2 out”) audio interface, so she can send the audio signal from her keyboard and mic into recording software (a “DAW”, digital audio workstation) over usb
She’d need a computer to run most recording software right?
tablet or phone are options too
Yes I’m assuming she would record to computer, then in the software she would be able to edit, mix, etc
Alternatively without a computer she could use something like a Zoom handheld recorder (basically a digital version of the old 4 track tape recorders), but editing capability within the device would presumably be limited vs using a DAW
