my sister bought some sort of portastudio thing from Boss (roland) which was less than £200 and had a built in mixer and mics, multiple tracks of digital recording (used an SD-card as storage media), DSP/effects unit..
a small mixer [old studio master or soundcraft analogue mixer would be my choice and they are cheap on ebay :groucho::groucho: ]
some good mics [3 for the drums minimum – we would use drum mics but some sm-58s could do the job]
a decent vocal mike [sm-58]
a tape player or leads for a link up to the computer to record with [there is free software which will do the job]
mic stands might be useful unless you can bodge a decent shock mount replacement [can be done ;)]
there are other options – a sec 8 track springs to mind – whats the budget?
Its worth spending money on mics – sm-58 are a good versatile one IMO – we have some for emergencies.
Leads for the links can be bought or made [if you have a friend who can]
the on ive got is a korg tone works PXR4, i love it record anything only one input at a time, you could get away with sterio recording, on board mic, loadsa effects, 4 tracks, 32 virtual tracks, DI worthy, line input, guitar jack input, stereo cardiod mic, runs off batterys!!!!!, all for about 70- 80 quid, look on ebay, well worth it and stores on SD card transferable to computer
