Recording equipment

[Perroquet Magique]

I would have posted this in the jam session but I thought I'd check to see if anyone has any experience here first...

Apologies if this is similar to a lot of other threads but I'm really interested in recording myself playing and possibly my band, this is what I have:

- A Premier Artist Maple set with Sabian Pro Sonix (meh) cymbals
- A semi-soundproofed room in the garage with drumkit
- A yamaha acoustic guitar
- A bass guitar
- A huge 150W 30 year old bass valve amp
- Two tiny guitar amps that my guitarists leave at my house
- A PC
- £150

Yeah so I can play drums and guitar ok and I thought it would be interesting to multitrack record myself playing songs I know on both instruments and maybe adding the bass part too as it can't be that hard.. can it...

So where do I start? Do I need a microphone and a mixing deck or...

I do that all the time, i've made a full solo album with me doing percussion, guitars, bass, piano, and some other random stuff. All recorded on tape on a portastudio, came out awsome.

ok, get audacity, than get this mixer, http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Behringer-Eurorack-UB1222FXPRO-Mixer?sku=631229
than get a couple of mics, maybe even the CAD pro mic set for your drums, which is here, http://www.musiciansfriend.com/rec/navigation/cad-microphones-wireless-live-sound?N=100001+304601+201171&page=1 , than plug the mics into the mixer, equalize it, plug it into the PC, and play into audacity. thats what i do
