Re: Recording Equipment
Depending on what sort of music you do, you can either go down two routes:
The Computer/Software based road which is more expensive, more time consuming but gives you far more options (and generally a better quality of recording).
The Multi-Track road - buying an 8/12/16-track unit like the ones made by Boss, which essentially are a recorder with a mixer attached. I've got a Boss BR900CD which is an 8-track with a CD-Burner attached. You can plug guitars and basses directly in - it's got built-in fx (which are Boss, so therefore decent quality). Alternatively you can mic up your amp/guitar and go via the mic input. The quality is very good - only downside I would say is the quality of the on-board drum machine. It's pretty basic.
What put me off computers was the time-consuming aspect of learning Cubase or ProTools or Logic; and getting good enough to be able to get the best out of them.
