Re: Recording Devices/Software
I have the worst / most Spartan "recording" setup ever.
permanently borrowed EV dynamic cardiod vocal mic through a (permanently borrowed) XLR -> 1/4" plug cable into a radio shack 1/4" to 1/8" adapter into the front of my PC/Windows laptop into Audacity (free).
If you forget the computer, total cost to me was $3.99 for the 1/4" to 1/8" adapter.
Rhythm - Crunch
Solo - neck single coil - all cheap gear
Acoustic
You can hear some other electric songs at - they are more metal-ish
Soundclick
You can hear that it's recorded with a $4 setup, but it's not awful.
I'd look into a Line6 TonePort if you have $100-$200 to shell out.

Re: Recording Devices/Software
Cheap ?
Cheap is a $4 1/8 stereo cable from the headphone out of your existing multi effect into the line in on your sound card. With audacity of course. If I ever get any of the stuff I have rough now into a more polished form, I may spend some money on it. Of course for me that would be a max of about $100.
My setup works and sounds pretty good. I can put down 5-6 tracks of guitar / drums (built in drum machine) / bass and still have a very good sound quality.

If you already have a PC, I use www.multitrackstudio.com pro version for $119. I think there is a cheaper version for ~$70. But I also recommend a full duplex soundcard like the M-Audio 2496 for $99 so you don't have latency problems. But there are other full duplex soundcards ... you may already have one.

Toneport UX1 $120.00 - it's all you need if your computer is beefy enough.

Re: Recording Devices/Software
My recommendation as well.
As for me, well I just bought a mixer that costs as much as your entire budget, so don't look here for recommendations on cheap hardware

Re: Recording Devices/Software
Rhythm - Crunch was with unknown Duncan Designed bridge humbucker in a Greg Bennett Ultramatic (great PRS knockoff!) through a Fender Ultimate Chorus
Solo - neck single coil - all cheap gear was with a Squier '51 through a Danelectro Nifty Fifty solid State amp
Acoustic was on a Guild D30 bld - one piece flame maple back and sides :smokin:
Soundclick stuff was half Jackson RR with Dimebucker and Full Shred neck, and half MIA Strat stock pickups, both through Fender U. C.
:banana:
