OP,

what computer do you have? If you have a mac, Garage Band will do the mixing that you're looking for.

The lowest cost decent option, IMO is a Zoom portable recorder. Record one instrument, load it to Garage Band, record the next one, load it etc.

If you have a PC, I believe there are free mixing apps, but I'm not up on them.

But basically, a free Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) on your computer and a decent portable digital recorder will do the trick in your budget. The learning curve on a DAW can be steep, but well worth it

I'd like to know if there are good options out there for recording 2 or 3 of the instruments together.

I'm doing this strictly for my own use, and I I'd prefer something fairly straight-forward (short learning curve). I like to stay under $200.

Are there any good options, for this home recording newbie?

Thanks!
