Either with a band or by yourself, how do you record your playing?

Re: How do you record yourself?
Right now the only method I have to record myself is on my mp3 player, which gets horrible quality.

Re: How do you record yourself?
I use a powerbook and Garage Band. I haven't been recording myself long. I am still waiting for my MBOX. I ordered it from MF like 2 months ago, and I keep getting back order Emails. Not having the audio interface and preamp is really holding me up. About 2 weeks ago I recorded myself playing acoustic guitar just using the laptops Mic and I got surprisingly good results. I also have a Vamp that I have not attempted to hook up to the laptop yet. That is what I intended to use it for.

Re: How do you record yourself?
I've had one of those 4-track reel to reel decks since the mid '70s, but I'm not sure if it even works anymore. Haven't tried it in years. I gave away my mixer too because I wasn't using it, and it was in the way.
Those things are pretty archaic though. I have a feeware multitrack program installed on my computer called Kristal, but I've never actually used it.
http://www.kreatives.org/kristal/
I checked the version history, and I seem to have the most recent version installed, so it hasn't been updated in a few years.
And I have a freeware drum machine named Hydrogen installed. I've experimented with that but haven't done anything serious with it. It's the best freeware drum program I've found yet. http://www.hydrogen-music.org/
Trouble is, multitracking is too much like work.

Audix i5 dynamic> Monster cable> Behringer mic preamp> Tascam 4-track
I know, low tech as funk, but I'm just behind a little, hehe.

Microphones or Podxt -> Tascam DP-01 -> Reaper (recording program)
Looking to upgrade to a PC audio interface sometime in the future

Re: How do you record yourself?
No problem. I forget who mentioned Kristal to me 2 or 3 years ago. Looks good for a freebie, but like I said, I still haven't tried it out. There might be some better freeware by now.
I imagine Cakewalk can do a lot more.
I use Audacity for things once in a while. Mostly editing. It has a lot of cool tricks built into it.

Either it's live at church (the church cuts CDs of every practice and worship), or it's Line In direct to MP3. I happen to have a mp3 player that has line in encode abilities, so I use that with the Line Out on my Boss ME-50
