Here's my situation:

I want to do digital recording on the cheap. I am debating whether I should use my upgraded home PC to do so or bite the bullet buy something like the Boss BR-8. I see that I can get Cakewalk Pro Audio 8 for around $200 now. I thinking of buying it along with a card like the E-magic audiowerks 2 for around $200 to do my recording.

Is this a good idea? Does anyone have any better ideas? I'd like to stay under $500.
 
What kind of computer do you have now, and what kind of statistics (CPU, RAM, CD-drive...etc.etc.)?

I have upgraded to an AMD Duron 700 mhz with 128 meg of RAM. I have plans to upgrade the CD drive to a CDR drive and the SB16 to something better. Hard drive is 4.7 Gig.

You can get PA9 brand new off ebay for less than that. Check around before you drop 200 on pa8.
 
I don't know about the PC recording, but I can vouch for thr Boss BR-8. It is an awesome tool and designed with the guitar player in mind; it has tons of guitar and vocal effects at your disposal. You'll need about $700 to get one new though. If you care to hear what I've done with my BR-8 then check out our site at www.mp3.com/twofisted

PC would be more powerful and depending on what soundcard you get a lot cleaner..
