Providing it is refurbished, remodeled and updated, sure.

Absolutely.  \n\nThough I'm *not* old {smiling}, yes, I remember all kinds of tape recording formats, and even went to a school for multitrack recording, with the aim of getting a job in a studio.\n\nThere are numerous programs for your PC that will turn it into a multitrack recorder with all the familiar features a console has -- channel and master faders, VU meters, pan knobs, mute and solo switches, etc.  But they go beyond the wildest dreams of a recording engineer in the 80s, when tape (often 2" wide) was the only respectable medium, and a reasonable studio would cost many tens--if not a few hundreds--of thousands of dollars to assemble.\n\nComputer software on a good PC does the job of both the mixing console and the multitrack recorder, and even lets you do a mix-down to stereo, and even editing of your projects... and mastering to CD!\n\nI don't have enough experience with any of the programs I've seen   to recommend one, but suspect you'd find a lot of useful info at emusician.com, the online version of Electronic Musician magazine.  \n\nThey probably review software as well as hardware, and I'm sure there are plenty of other sites that do, too.\n\nYou might want to just get your feet wet with a great *free* program, called Audacity.  I *have* used that one, just playing around, and it seems to have just about everything I've seen in pay programs, and which a beginning (or even semi-pro) band would need.  I can't say for sure, but I'd be surprised if this software *isn't* good enough for a demo, as long as you know how to use it.  \n\nThe recording and mixing process takes practice, some knowledge of sound and microphone placement, a good ear, and a bit of creativity... as with any other type of recording equipment.  Since Audacity is freeware, you have no money to lose, there.\n\nAs for "easy to use," that depends a lot on your experience with the hardware these programs are designed to emulate.  I find the software pretty intuitive, but I have studied and used this kind of hardware on and off for years.  I can imagine it being an awful lot to a newbie.  But then, so would the hardware versions of these tools.\n\nOne other tip: don't skimp on your microphones.  A mic of poor quality will ruin a recording quicker than just about anything else, no matter how good the software is.  And it's not one-type-fits-all-duties.  Way too much to cover here, I'm afraid.\n\nOh, alright, one more thing... you do have to have a certain level of hardware in your computer.  Check the system requirements of the software you get, but I'm guessing you'll want at least 1 GB of RAM, a fast hard drive (7200 rpm or better), and a fast processor (I won't guess, on that).  And obviously you need some way to get the microphone signals into your PC.  If your sound card doesn't provide the necessary inputs, you may need to buy a "breakout box" which you connect to the computer via USB port, probably, and which then gives you various mic and line inputs.\n\nThis may sound like a lot to learn, and I won't lie... it is!  But it is possible, and I think can give you a surprisingly good quality recording via your PC.\n\nGood luck, and maybe you'll send me your demo CD!   ;-)

discuss it with the sponsor - they may have some ideas of how to do it - or might have restrictions on what you can record

Don't pay recording studios, it is a waste of money.  Buy a Fostex MR 8 digital recorder and do it all yourself.  It is a hell of a lot cheaper, and sounds just about the same.  I own one and it has saved me tons of money.

a box set or dvd you know they don't own. or go on ebay and search for rolling stone memorabila, i'm sure you'll find something cool.

I would buy something I've wanted for a long time, like a Beatles album.  I have quite a few songs from them but I don't have any complete albums.  I love the Beatles and I'm kind of ashamed I don't have any of their cds.

They play what the record companies pay them to play.

Maybe telling them the different parts before u play, like the snare, symbol. etc. Jus an idea and why they sound different even though they may look the same

A good idea is perhaps reporting it to a local museum. It's not a moveable artifact, of course, but they usually have old records and information and may want pictures or whatnot.

that sounds good but on the other hand u will have to restore a whole series of backup tapes in order to recapture all all of ur files because each bkup would only include changed files    , there4 althouth the bkup process would be quick, but the restore process would be unwieldy, if not inpossible, so i would only do that if am tryin to save time.

yes \nand so are \n-record needles for the turntable\n-any new speakers/speaker wire/cables\n-cd cases/record cases/turntable cases to transport them\n-any music magazines such as DJ Times/Rolling Stone/Blender/Spin/Billboard/etc (say they are used as research for reviews/trends/rankings/etc)\n-turntables/cd players\n-batteries (if used for players)\nbut keep all receipts...\n\nkeep the $ out of their pockets and into yours!!
