Hi Stan, I think you'd be surprised how good yourself and Daw software can be . Just get the basic song down add other bits as you go along . The most important thing is catching the idea and the inspiration as the moment strikes. We make all these beautiful instruments what better use is there ,than to use them for something creative. I guess its giving the instrument its voice. If I can help in any way please just ask.
In reference to the video he used the cheapest mic cheap interface some software he'd never used before , just to show what can be achieved .we all learn as we go on one step at a time .
