Hello,

I'm pretty new to all this stuff so I'd appreciate any help I can get. I've read a ton on digital workstations and the computer and have gotten myself lost and confused in the process. I have a year old dell computer but would be lost trying to convert it to music and dont know the first thing about its specs so dont bother asking, I wouldnt even know where to look. So that lead me into digital workstations. We have a pretty decent budget couple thousand so I'm not worried about that. I'm just worried about getting something decent that would be good for both a beginner and not be quickly disposable when I grow as a musician. The band has two guitarists, the bassist, and a drummer, with all us singing (sometimes at the same time). Were like a grunge/hard rock Beatles group (lol). Anyway I hope this helps with some ideas. At the present were not the best at our instruments but the songs and singing are pretty tight so its time we started putting it down. All we need is some good equipment that can record us all together in the studio (or garage) at the same time.
 
I'm an analog-head, but for digital try the TASCAM 788.

Me, I'm more at home if I can watch the reels turning.
 
What are your expectations? Do you just want to record some song demos and hear your performances or do you want to produce a slick demo?

Do you plan on recording the whole band at the same time? How many tracks at once do you need?

Do you have any mics or anything already?
 
no studio equipment of any kind (mics included) i had been going over to my friends house whose with another band and we used to just hang out and use his stuff (ive never been into the recording/mixing scene). But now hes going away so I might as well learn to do it on my own. Id like to produce some good demos both on my own and of the band playing at the same time. All I have personally is a fender bass and little 60 watt fender practice amp. As i said I'm pretty new to all this stuff so any recomendations on any equipment would be cool as I've mostly been into singing and my bass. As far as tracks go I dont know how much I'll need, especially when everyone is there live so, Id imagine it would be at least 16 (maybe more??) for live stuff due to the fact at any one time us three guitarists and sometimes even the drummer will sing. Well hope this helps a little more. Thanks everyone!!!
 
1) Let us know exactly how manyinputs you need (guitars, basses, mics, etc).

2) Once again, let us know your exact budget. ;)
