[Eug-lug] Recording

[Ben Barrett]

Hey sure thing -- if you just want basic sound, older hardware will do you
fine,
but if you get into mastering your work you might want to check out some of
the newer units;
broader bandwidth than CD quality is common for studio work.  Depends on
your needs and
your budget :)

I've heard good things about some of the drum machine & sequencing software
in the FOSS
realm although I haven't used much of it, so ... have a blast!
