I have been inspired by recent DiSers make music threads.

And I found an app which I made a thread about, although it appears have died on its arse. I've had it a day or two and i'm somehow not shit at it!
Anyway, as ace as it is, I can already see its limitations. I've just ordered a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable to plug my phone into my laptop to record onto Audacity or similar.

I'm also interested in buying a small USB keyboard (musical, not QWERTY obviously) and perhaps a microphone too. Ideally looking at about £40 max for the former, no idea about the latter.

Is the Akai LPK25 any good? I've seen a video of it which looked/sounded great.

Any tips greatly appreciated.
