So I recently decided that I am going to start taping shows. My brother is lending me his mini-disc and a condensor mic to see if I like taping. I realize this isn't the ideal equipment but you gotta start somewhere, right?
I've been looking through different threads over the past couple days and have a few questions on what direction I should go.
I am in college and therefore working with a small budget. Let's say I have $400 to spend on better gear. What should I buy first?
I am thinking about picking up a JB3 or H2. I will mostly be taping a local band (The Brew --

What would I need to hook a mini-disc/JB3/H2 up to a soundboard?
Also, I am a little confused about the ADC and if I'll need one for the mini-disc.
Basically I am just looking for some direction on where to begin. Sorry about the noobish questions. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
