Get some recording software


If you just want to go ahead and get started, search for a free d.a.w. for your os.
D.A.W. stands for digital audio workstation, a kind of program that acts as a virtual music studio, able to record instruments and voices, blend them together, add creative effects, and much more.  A couple of good d.a.w. programs for different operating systems:
freeware

Audacity for Mac and Windows



Audiostar for iOS



Free unlimited trial


Reaper for Mac and Windows

I know a lot of people that started with Audacity and some of them still use it all the time. Reaper has a ton of features and is a very widely used, even in the professional world.  If you own a Mac made in the last ten years you probably have Garage Band already installed (most iPad owners do, too).  I will cover these audio production applications and many more in future posts.
