Depends what you want really- if you're recording for fun 8 tracks might be enough but if you want to release anything I'd be thinking some kind of direct in.
For guitar check out the 'pod' amp emulator - they're industry standard and really good - although I still think that micing up an amp rocksit.
Mics you can go anywhere in terms of price - are you thinking of using it for other things as well>? ie sampling into minidisc?
I'd check out RODE microphones - they're an Australian company and often release mics that beat others - I have two rode nt3s and they are quality mics. (i think it's rode.com or .net or something..
In terms of input - If you want CHEAP - then why not look at the Creative Live!Drive - look it up - it's cheap as chips and has all the plug ins you want in a baydrive. (it's got normal auxillary inputs, direct mic input (not 3 pin), optical ins/outs/ etc... it's not bad!!).
THo - if you want really high quality - the pro tools suggestion someone said isn't bad - tho I use Logic Audio so it's all down to preference (logic rules!!).
Recording software I wouldn't worry too much about - even cheaper programs (ie cool edit - sound forge?>) will do 24 and even 32 bit recording which is high quality shit.
In terms of platform - who cares - they all do the same thing - I use pc - the guy I work with uses mac- both are fine. Just get what you like and can afford (ie pc is going to be cheaper for same speed etc).
need more info just ask!!
WHOA! I am a sound nerd.
