    don't buy anything in dublin. You'll pay an extortionate price. check out audacity and google 'multitrack recording'.
    Best of luck to you and welcome to the world of recording:)

    Try "Adobe Audition 2.0" for multi track recording.

    Record one equipment at a time...

    Say: First u record u'r vocal part..
    Then: Select next track and arch it for Recording (while the first track just plays u'r vocal).
    And so on.. record all u'r instruments.

    Alternatively, u can get a 4 track or 8 track or whatever track mixer u want to record all the instrument together and feed it to pc. (it won't cost much for 4-8 track mixer)

    If you have the budget "Yamaha Digital workstation 16-track" won't cost more than 900 euro. It's suitable for home recording and has all in one package. Google for features.

    Good luck
