Newbie to recording here. I just want to sit in my room and record my poor guitar skills and horrible voice and transfer that to my computer (Dell with Vista) for the possibility of torturing any forumites who may be foolish enough to listen. My 2004 810ce is the only one of my guitars with electronics.

I've searched the archives and it appears the Zoom H4 may be a good simple solution. I saw the comment that the Zoom H4n is coming out so I did a little search and it looks like H4 are selling for 2.75 bills, and H4n 4 bills. Given what I want to do, is there any reason to get the H4n.

Where I play, I'm not near my computer, although I could play at my computer, I figure my best chance at capturing anything palatable is to just have it out while I'm playing in my usual spot to minimize the pressure (I exude confidence don't I?)

Maybe there is something cheaper that I could use for simple recordings?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
