mad props man. check out my tracks 'missing' and 'hearts of mine'. i think you might enjoy some of my tunes

about home recording, id recommend buying a decent interface and a decent microphone and not a usb mic if youre gonna keep using garageband and eventually upgrade software.

It's taken us quite a while to get the results we wanted from garageband. We spent a lot of hours tweaking the music
I saw a usb mic in a Jaycar catalogue for about $99. Again, I'm really not sure of the quality but it would be something definitely to look into

Hey james...no mate she's never heard it...or the rest of the album for that matter. Had this idea once that I'd front up with my guitar and these songs. Thanks for listening mate...will geniunely listen to your stuff also!!! (i.e not myspace sort of attempt ; )

Yeah you can't go wrong with a Shure microphone
We've been recording all of our stuff on Garageband at the moment. I'm keen to try out Logic Pro though to see what difference it will make. All the guitars, bass guitar and vocals are real tracks, all the rest of the tracks are software or audio loops.
I'm considering looking at a USB mic. Not too sure about the sound quality but they are active mics so should be similar to a phantom powered mic
