Hi Neil an' tks for all the info you posted, and for contributions from other knowledgeable folk. I think I have sorted it now. Am now starting to sort out recording using a Tascam Portastudio and the other bits of kit I have. I think I have everything I require to record but its putting it altogether in the right order thats sometimes a nightmare but anyways it keeps you off the street !!
Catch you guys later and take care.
