I currently only have a PC with its stock sound card.
I have:
-Cubase
-Reason 4
-Iphone w/ audio recording app
-M Audio midi to USB cord
-old generic keyboard w/ a midi output
Liquidated studio a cpl yrs back, but soon would like to rebuild when my wallet permits..but until then, I am wondering if I can atleast catch songwriting ideas using my Iphone for capturing audio, and my fairly outdated version of cubase and reason 4 to create ideas.
Strictly for catching song ideas and recording demos..mostly w/ guitar, vocals, drum editor and midi effects. This should technically work until I can purchase an audio interface, yes?
I'll probably eventually pick up another motu 828, as it never skipped a beat for me. But until then, I'd still like to use something more than an iphone.
Thoughts, ideas?

I also forgot to mention that I'm rusing the studio.M app on the iphone. I find this app very handy for being a stand alone multitracker.

GarageBand at 4.99 is a no brainier. If you need a better mic, tascam im2 is $30 on amazon (iPhone 4 and 4s).
