Just picked up Toasted's Zoom H2 (thanks Joe) and I am amazed at how good it sounds. After downloading Reaper, I hooked it up to my PC and, after a couple of minutes setting levels and working out the basics of Reaper, recorded three tracks (one mandolin rythym track, one lead mandolin track, double bass) and finished my first tune!
I think this will be really a really useful bit of kit, both for recording gigs and rehearsals, as well as more studio based stuff. Well chuffed!

PS I would upload the tune, but unfortunately I deleted it by mistake!!!
