My simple advice would be not to get bogged down in technicals. What matters much more is mic technique and recording environment. Buy a second hand, (do they still make them) Mini Disc recorder and a good small mixer Behringer MX820A is excellent value. A couple of reasonable mics from Maplins and get recording. Listen on reasonable hifi gear. When you can hear the limitations of this lot, then its time to move on. As much as possible try and get it right in one take, much quicker and less frustrating than the the best of post production gadgets. Better for honing the performance too. Have fun. Andy
