Very Simple!!!!!!Note:The main picture is sort of the finished product...
Step 1: Materials

Pitch Perfect Guitar Tuning Software
A microphone. I use a Rock Band microphone.
Camera(Optional) I use the PS2 Eye Toy camera. You will have to download the drivers in the package bellow if you will be using the
Eye Toy.
If you have 1 USB port get a USB hub. I use Rock Band's.

Step 2: Installing....Please Wait(The Boring Step)
Now you have to install Recordpad,Debut,Pitch Perfect, and the Eye Toy Driver*.*Optional if using Eye Toy*
For the Eye Toy drivers go to this Instructable. sorry but the instructable was removed so go to the link from i play playstation. Sorry!!!
For Recordpad agree to the statement, install, uncheck the other stuff(unless you want it), configure your microphone, and tada!!!
All of the softwares from NCH are the same.Recordpad,Debut,Tempo Perfect,Pitch Perfect.
Step 3: Pluging in the Stuff.
All you have to do is plug the stuff in no sweat. It is easy.

is it OK if I use a 40gb PC?
Reply 13 years ago on Introduction
40G PC does not define much.
A usually good recording studio could be a 450+MHZ running Linux, or a 2.6GHZ Running XP. Or if your really professional, one of those apple computers. 40G would be enough space to hold a lot of songs, but does not determine the recording quality you'll get.

I'm a recording engineer/producer. That looks like Steinberg Cubase to me. I'm about 99% sure it is.

There seems to be lots of good tools on Linux. I have not used, but can direct you to Hydrogen (drum machine), and ardour ("digital audio workstation"). There's also Audacity, which you seem to have found, and a confusingly named media player for linux, Audacious.
