[musictlk] sound recording gear

[Robert j]

I saw this ad on craigs list and was wondering if any one can offer any
feedback about the system and or the price.
also is it realistic to think I could find some recording equipment to give
us some decent recordings for a five piece band for about $200.00 or so?
I don't know any thing about this type of gear but our drumber is some what
educated about sound equipment.
let me know your thoughts.
