You mean a big hard drive? Are you just going to record yourself & your brother, and maybe an entire band?

[ninety1vee]

mainly me and my bro, we just have tons of songs ( i think upwards of 30?)
anyway i dont know d!ck about technology and something basic would suffice

If you've never recorded, but can operate a cassette deck, than one of the BOSS BR recorders would be great for you. They are easy to learn to operate, you'll spend more time recording, than trying to figure out how to record.

The next question, is how much do you want to spend?

[RoC1909]

The BOSS BR recorders are quite nice. There are many types of 'computer' programs as well that will do what you want, though they can go from simple and easy to 'pain in the ass' and complicated. I have messed with Guitar Tracks, Ableton and Sony Acid. Myself, I can do the very basic with them but these programs are capable of doing some amazing things.

Download some of the demos and see what you might like.

I don't recommend PC based recording software until I know if a person is knowledgeable on computers first. I sometimes use Reaper ($50/home use) and a Edirol UA-4FX.

Reaper has loads of plugins, has a small memory footprint and is pretty easy to learn, if a person is familiar with recording terms and technique.

I have over 200 songs on Soundclick, where I recorded lead guitar to backing tracks from another forum. Almost all the tracks were recorded on my BR-600, and some using Reaper.

I have Cubase 4 and it's great. It handles both analog and MIDI inputs and comes with a number of preset sounds for your keyboard trigger (or you can program them in) as well as effects (delay, reverb, etc.). The learning process is steep but well worth it in the end.

I have a Digidesign 002R, an Octepre LE with ADAT card option to get to the other eight inputs of the 002, and a variety of outboard gear, plus a Tascam US2400 control surface, a pair of Mackie HR824 monitors (the newer models), a paid of KRK canary yellow Rockit 6 monitors (I think that's what they are called), and its run with a Mac Pro quad 2.66GHz machine attached to a 30" Apple Cinema display. I've also got about every software program known to man for use on the Mac, plus some Windows software I run on the dedicated Bootcamp drive on my machine. Its a disease. A dreadful, expensive disease.

WOW! Let's hear some of your music

[nolongermike@gibson]

Come Jan/Feb, Reality Records will be releasing an album I did as "Von Johin" which was done mostly here in my studio, though the initial tracks for most of it were done at a big studio in Nashville. We did the overdubs here. Hang tight.

[nolongermike@gibson]

It appears we suffer from the same disease.

I have an old TASCAM Pocketstudio 5, but I've moved on to recording with my PC. I use a Lexicon Lambda interface and Sony software -- just upgraded to ACID Pro 7 and Sound Forge 9 -- the learning curve is steep! I have a Line 6 PODxt and a bunch of stomp boxes and plug-ins. No mikes, so far all of my recording is direct.

[coolinall]

I wish i could have the Yamaha series equipment.But it could be a long time for me to afford it

[Steven Tari]

When I get down to the real recording I have a Korg 1600 D. It's old but it does the job. My monitors are Samson and so is my Stereo studio amp. My key boards are Korg. My guitars are Gibson family. My amps, PA Equip.,And Mixers are Peavey./Later

[FourMiles]
