Propellerhead Balance?

[Kosmiche]

Was looking at this for my xmas present this year...I want to start making music via bass guitar and microphone on my pc and using a DAW (it comes with reason essentials).

Would this be a good way of getting into music making or am I better off since I'm a total novice just getting something like a rocksmith cable and using my bass guitar to make music using a free DAW?

Thanks

btw ocuk could use a music creation sub forum.

I've recently replaced one with a RME babyface.

It worked really well but it looks like it is now discontinued so I wouldn't expect many more driver updates. The RME is better but may be too expensive for you.

You could look at the Focusrite Scarlet as a cheaper alternative that would do everything you would need as a beginner.
