Boss micro BR,zoom mrs802cd or fostex mr8?!!

[hashpipe]

First of all a big hello to everyone from Leeds,England! Hello!


Ok where to start?! Im fairly new to this home recording lark and need some advise on what i should buy first on a fairly small budget. Im a singer songwriter, just me and and a guitar at the moment and im thinking of buying either the boss, fostex or zoom (models above) multi track recorder.

Spent afew hours today looking on the internet, ebay ect, and these seem to be the best options for what im after..in my opinion but as i said im not experienced with these things at all! Id like to be able to record my singing, guitar parts and add effects to both, a drum machine would be good as well but not essential. At the moment i dont have my own p.c (next couple of months will have) so i guess i need it to have decent playback and a facility to be able to put my tracks on a usb and transport to mates house to edit/burn onto cd.The easier it is to do this the better (the ones with sd cards sound well difficult!)

Anyone whos used these machines before your feedback would be greatly appreciated, also any other tips for someone starting out like me.Ill be having a good read of the other starting out forums to be sure!

Nice one!
