Tim's Planned Home Recording Setup

  

Knowing I'm not shooting for anything beyond "passable" audio initially, but realizing that, once I get all of the basic components, I can upgrade one at a time over the years...

I figured I'd start by listing all of the components I need to do basic recording/mixing of acoustic guitar and vocals. And, from poking around on the Web, go ahead and target a specific brand/model. I've listed the current Amazon.com price...but figure I can start eBaying one at a time to see if I can find a better deal used.

I'm thinking I should be able to get the entire setup for $100-150 if I take my time and keep an eye out for deals.

I'll post updates as I actually get these items, including what I paid for them.
