If you want vocals, you’ll want to upgrade to the Line 6 TonePort UX1 USB Recording/Modeling Interface.

With just a guitar and cord, this will only run you only about $82 but if you want vocals, the price could easily climb to $175. Plus you’d need a microphone so add $50 for that. The bad part is that is all you can have, no vocals unless you have an adapter which could run you around $20, and you’d need a XLR cable which would cost around $12. The GX is USB powered and is great if all you want is one guitar. The GearBox has over 75 guitar amp models, 30 bass amp models, almost 100 stompbox and studio effects, and 6 mic preamp models. The GX comes with the easy-to-use GearBox recording software. Possibly less, possibly more depending on length. A guitar cord will cost somewhere around $12. Now if it’s just going to be you recording nothing but a guitar, the Line 6 GX USB Recording Interface is just for you. The amplifiers for these instruments are also not included. This studio does not include the purchasing of instruments like guitars, bass, drums, or keyboards. And seeing as how you are reading this, you already have a computer. There are just a few things you need first in order to keep this under $2000. In this how-to guide, I will tell you how to create a makeshift in-home recording studio all for under $2000. So you have the guitar and the amp, about 5 songs that you poured your heart into, but nothing to record them with.
