want to start working on music...where to start
 

Hey there friends,
I remember a time when I wrote music with a portable cassette player(yes, I AM that old). With our new house(actually 1970's being designed for a remodel) comes a music room, for me!! I would like to just record songs for myself to work on.What would you guys/gals suggest for a small 4 track/8 track recorder mics etc?? Just me and my acoustic guitars,fiddle,mandolin.
Thanks for the ideas!
Jan :)
