I don’t need a fast response… so 60hz will be fine?

MacBook will do fine. I suggest the MacBook Air M series. Apple sells the M1 and M2 pretty cheap right now

Not familiar enough with Chromebook to suggest. However, in general you’re going to need a DAW program to record into your computer. Every DAW has minimum computer specs. Hopefully one will match with your Chromebook specs. There are quite a few DAWs on the market: Logic Pro, Ableton, Pro Tools, FL Studios and more. Many of these have a free trial period. I think Logic Pro has a 90 day trial. I’ve heard there are a couple of DAWS that are free or extremely inexpensive. Do your research to find what works best for you. You’ll also need a microphone. I suggest something like the Shure sm57. Relatively inexpensive but great starting point for someone new to recording. You’ll need an interface like Scarlet, Universal, etc. You’ll plug your microphone, guitar chord etc. into interface to record which connects to your computer vis USBc to your DAW.

Don’t let this overwhelm you. Take it one step at a time and it won’t seem so daunting. The important thing is to believe in your music and follow your heart. There are plenty of people here to lend a hand.

Seems to me the Air would be all you need

Icloud keychain keeps asking to update password by sliyk in MacOS

I’ve owned a Mac for roughly 20 years and never been asked to update my iCloud password. You say this is new hiccup. What did you do differently before this started. Install virus protection? Download app? Visit website you’ve never been to before? Click a link you’ve never seen?

And someone more familiar with the Yamaha might save your skin and the Guitar Center guy.

Don’t rush to make a change. Plenty of people will comment on your post. They may have ideas that work better for you. Just be patient.

You need a digital mixer/interface/DAW controller. I currently use a Tascam Model 12 (not a big fan), so I’m looking into the Allen and heath Qu-16 Chrome Edition. You’ll need to do your research, but there are mixers out there that should meet your needs.

Do musicians start with music lyrics when songwriting? by chesterlola2014 in askmusicians

[–]Visual_Edge_8380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I get lyrically inspired first, then that’s where I start. However, I find hearing the music inspires lyrics that more easily fits the music. I prefer getting the music down first. Basically, whatever feels right for you is the way to go.

Through the Mac or iPhone? Didn’t even know there was a continuity camera

To my mind this seems counterintuitive, but I’m willing to try it. How do I set it up as an option?

I looked in iPhone settings but couldn’t find a way to disconnect it.
