Some ten years ago I bought a Boss BR1100CD multi track recorder and have been very pleased with it.
As well as the other good advice offered, I would add, get a good quality condenser microphone.
The microphone I was sold at the time of buying the recorder was a Behringer B1.
Still available I think. Although doubtless someone will know a better microphone to use in today's climate.
I download the BT's on the first two tracks and then use the remaining tracks for guitar (s) / vocals etc.
And don't forget a decent, ( comfortable ) pair of headphones. Once you start recording you'll be surprised
where the time goes. And, a decent, comfortable pair of headphones is invaluable.
All of these things will push the limits of your budget. However, like many things, you never regret paying for quality.
Cheers, Alan.
this looks like a cracking deal for a microphone: http://www.andertons.co.uk/ribbon-mics/ ... ophone.asp
