Music recording setup on the cheap

[NewsBot]

I imagine there are plenty of C9 musicians out there.* I'm trying to get started with recording a little of my own guitar + piano music.* Since I'm nearly broke, it's not realistic for me to try to get a "proper" setup.* With about $100, what would be the best use of my money?

 

I'm considering one or a combination of the following:

- A 1/8" mic that's better than the $10 one currently on my desk.* I've heard that some of the mics used on camcorders do a decent job.

- A USB or Firewire audio interface (might be beyond my budget)

- A USB Microphone (getting more popular for podcasts it seems)

 

I'll probably use Acid Music Studio since I've had good experiences with that line of products in the past.* I'm not counting that in my $100 budget.

 

Any advice to share?* Hope I'm not the only C9 musician.
