I don't know why, my friend is talking me in to it. Mainly just to record the live jams that we do. So I'm about to call my friendly Sweetwater rep and get the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 3rd Gen and a pair of JBL 306P MkII 6.5 inch Powered Studio Monitors. The good news is my buddy knows Reaper well enough, so there's that. Wish me luck, I'm sure I'll be doing this a lot.

Watch a "how-to" vid first, and you'll be up and running pretty quickly.
download some free plugins from tokyo dawn labs.
download free and $50 plugins from Valhalla.

Supermassive & SpaceModulator are totally useful and fun.
I just posted YT video about those this morning. It's a pretty processed sound but it's a damn cool one.
You can download a free compressor plugin from Tokyo Dawn... it will come in handy for vocals, bass and anything with fluctuating volume that needs taming, including recording band practice. https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-kotelnikov/
I also suggest opening Reaper up and get your IN's and Out's configured and then just drag and drop some loops or even whole songs right into it. Then it will automagically create the tracks and you can start messing around. Reaper is so easy and fun once you get going. Reach out if you get stuck.
P.S. Reaper can pretty much do anything and everything and don't buy any plugins (VST's) or anything until you mess with the free ones included with Reaper. Reap on!
