Here is where I do most of my recording in my low budget basement recording studio.  It is truly amazing how computer technology now allows anyone to produce decent demo songs in their own house. I use Sonar 5.0 Producer recording software on my home built desktop computer.  The computer has an EMU 1820m sound card which has helped a lot with the recording quality.

Portable Recording Gear

Recently I purchased a portable recorder called a Fostex MR8 MKII that I have been enjoying the heck out of.
This little recorder is a complete recording studio with a small footprint (11" wide, 8.5" deep and 2.5" tall) that can be transported anywhere you want to record.
It records CD quality sound onto a Flash memory card.

Recently Heather and I attended a weaving retreat at a monastery in Indiana
 and I took this recorder with me. As Heather attended the conference, I setup in our room and recorded a bunch of new music.

Since the Fostex can run on batteries so you can even record outdoors. The recorder boots up in about 8 seconds so it allows me to do a quick recording when the inspiration
 strikes and doesn't get in the way of creativity.  More info on the Fostex can be found here.

Here is a picture of it. It fits easily in my old brief case along with all of the necessary cords and cables.
A USB port allows the songs you record to be transferred to/from a PC.
I recommend this device highly.
