Ok, my band just bailed on me, and have WAY too much stuff written, and no where to put it all together. I am SO strapped for cash, but I seriously need to make some music.
I am looking at the Zoom PS-02. The effects aren't essential, but i need a bass line, and a drum machine(as I lack a drumset right now, and I don't have a bass), it has 4 tracks(besides the drum and bass tracks) and 10 "virtual" tracks for each. I'd have a couple tracks of guitar, and track of vocals. It has a built in mic, which I will likely not use because I have an sm58 from when I was in my band, but i may use it for acoustic tracks, and maybe even micing my amp(if the shure lacks).
I don't know if this is gonna work like I'm hoping it will, so I need you guys to give me your opinions(expessially you, cage77).
I guess i got too used to a 2 guitar band. So everything I right has leads and rhythm. I will also use it just to put down a track of guitar, and play leads to the simple track I put down.
So any hlep would be a preciated on whether this is a good idea, and any alternatives that would work out better!

PS- Getting a band is not an option, I'm like "Neil Peart" picky! ;D

8 tracks that can be played back simultaneously are the minimum you need. "Virtual tracks" can not be played simultaneously they are only for alternative versions of a track and can be swapped against another ones. If your budget is not that limited I recommend at least an 8 track HD recorder, but in any case a stand alone drum machine that is programmable to your own demands.
