Glad I could help Kaley being as youare a yard sale fool tto, you may want to keep your eye out for a karaoke box too. I bought one off a little single parent lady who was short of a quid one time thinking it would colect dust but found I could hook the key board to it then on to the puter and use its mixer and reverb to get a bit more mix rwix backing and vox when singing my stuff rough like I do.
and now I get a backing tape from a collab I can use the udjustable tape speed to get the music to the right key as a lot of tape decks vary a bit. Often a a tone away. Use my Boss guitar tuner in front of the speaker and watch the notes coming out an adjust accordingly. Mine cost me 100 Australian dolars. about 50 your money.
and of course you can tape your backings too and then sing along and tape that too while getting the kinks out without loading the putre up with takes. Sing a whole tape full and then pick the best one, and record that to the puter.
