I'm in much the same position as you and after a lot of research I have more or less decided on a TASCAM DP-02, two large diaphragm condenser mics with stands, 2 x monitor speakers, couple of Anti-Pops. The whole thing = just under £500 (around $1000). -Mike

Ok. Thanks folks. Next question. Which Multitrack Recorders have 24 bit? -Mike

OK, FELLAS..........I ask for laymans terms and I get noise floors and amplitudes and resolutions!!!!!!!!:confused::confused: From what I can see, a lot of the Multitrack recorders - 8 track and 16 track Fostex, Tascam, Boss, etc. - are 16 bit. How will this affect my sound? Should I look for...

Can someone explain this in laymans language? How does 16bit vs 24bit affect sound? -Mike

Can monitor speakers be connected to the DP-02, or just phones?

How does it compare with the FOSTEX MR8-HD as an entry level unit? -Mike

Is the unit suitable for multi-acoustic-instrument over dubbing. Say one player using mandolin, bass, acoustic guitar and vocal? -Mike

Hi everybody, I'm just about to get into home recording. At the moment I'm browsing the forum - but, in the meantime, what do you guys think about this Fostex machine? I'll basically be recording Guitars, Bass, Mandolin, voice, harmonica - all played by me. Will this unit be OK? -Mike
