For those of you who do your own recordings:
I know it will vary based on your particular needs at the time, but in general, what is your setup like, in terms of mics, preamps, software, whatever.

Mine is just a tape player up against my amp, in a quiet room.

It depends on what you can afford. If you can purchase the Pro Tools HD bundle or just multi-tracking software, go for it. Mic placement in a room is always key. Remember your quality is everything. If you wanna a professional sounding recording, I would try to invest my money at a studio. It also depends on your music and your goals for it. (Pushing to a major label, music making for personal use, etc.) Good Luck.
