Great replies from Alan and Richard. As I research I'm swinging this way and that - analogue v digital...open reel... pro quality cassette... DAT etc etc. But I'm learning a lot too - not least from you guys. Just got a Homre Recording manual (about 10 years old) and that too is useful - if a bit out of date.... lots on analogue and nothing on digital.
I really appreciate your help and links though - SO useful.
Mary - have you thought about furthering your own career by getting into a decent band - one that might 'go places'.
You'd get centre stage spots all the time and get the others to do all the setting up and buying of equipment etc - you just bring along a decent microphone, your look and your voice.
A lot of solo singers started in bands - off the top of my head.... Alison Moyet, Elkie Brooks, Annie Lennox, Sheryl Crow, Joan Osborne etc etc etc and then were head-hunted by the industry to go solo. Plus I can guarantee you'd learn a lot about music, the industry and life in general - I certainly did!!!
Go for it.
