I am looking to buy a multi-track recorder for recording songs with guitar, bass, vocals, keyboard, drums etc. Right now I have a Boss BR-8 which records to 100mb zip disks so I obviously need an update. |

PC or Mac? Garageband is excellent for that kind of thing. |

Think software, not hardware! |

I wouldn't suggest Garageband, its very limiting. I'm using Logic Pro on the Mac. Its great for what i need and theres tons of things you can do with it. Thats if your a Mac user. |

I know jack-shit about standalone equipment. All I have is a couple of KORG synthesizers. |

All of my guitars and everything is down in my basement whereas my computer is upstairs and there isnt much room around it which is why I was mainly planning on looking for a standalone unit. |

Your PC doesn't need to be all that high-performance. Usually audio software doesn't use up too much RAM. All you would need is the correct wires. You can find wires that pretty much use all types of combinations, so you can pick up one that has the guitar output jack on one end, and the smaller 1/8 inch microphone type jack (the one that goes into your computer) on the other end. It's just a matter of getting the right cables for the job. But they are all available. |
