future shop has some excellent "ports/sound card input devices", excuse me I don't know the lingo, however there is an interesting attatchment that enables one to input just about anything ei. rca, video, 9-pin, 24-pin, 1/8 jack,1/4 jack, high/low impediance microphones, and control input levels as well; if I recall it isn't too expensive. I'm planning to attatch it to my computer and use software such as pro lab, wave guitar, or cubase. Initially I use a four track then download it to the computer; you can even use easy cd creator for this, touch up the sound and go straight to burning cds cheap, cheap.
