btw, get a mac, don't fug around with pc systems, they will only cause you problems, invest in a powerbook or imac.

Do people still buy into this garbage?

I don't want to start the Ford vs Chevy argument, but I've used both PC's and Mac's for recording and I have to say there was little difference in performance/crash ratio. I tend to lean more toward the PC's myself.

But since I got into bass, I haven't turned on any of my studio computers.

Just another idea... If you absolutely hate anything slightly complicated...
I bought for the band an Edirol MP3 recorder with flashcard. You do the mix on
the console and plug it right in the recorder, no fussing around.
You just press the Record button! I was really
amazed by the sound quality (when recorded in .WAV, 16 or 24 bits)
And it is about the size of a double-CD album. They go for under 400$

Im using the Presonus firepod for my recording needs, not quite the portable deal, but a quality card none the less.

has 8 seperate channels of I/O with gain control of each. comes with cubase LE and integrates into nuendo or logic easily.

Hey Joel, you happy with that thing?

Don't want to spend any more than £250 (between $400-450).

Anyone have any tips as to what they use?

Thanks muchly

azzy_wazzy,

I bought a Fostex MR-8HD and paid US$399 for it. Seems very serviceable to me. I haven't used it for anything more than practice at this point and I have only scratched the surface of it's features. It can be connected to your computer via USB for transferring files.
