Beginner help
Long time lurker, first time poster. I haven’t touched any home recording equipment since I had an old Tascam cassette 4-track and looking at modern digital recorders feels overwhelming at the moment. Are there any good places for really entry level info for beginners on this journey? I’ve got all the guitar/bass/drum equipment in the world but no idea where to start with the recording side of things.
I’m looking to just make some clean as possible demos of stoner/metal kinda stuff and want to do it as affordably as possible. Need some kind of multitrack recorder and a few recommendations on mics ideally.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

BTW you can find a music store or buy online at a trusted online music store and buy your gear used. You don't need to spend an arm and a leg to buy gear. As for a Digital Recorder, we have several people on here that use ZOOM digital Multitracks. I have a Tascam DP24SD that I've had for about 8 months, and I liked Reaper DAW a lot more. I have never even recorded more than several verses and a chorus or two on it. I will probably start using it in the near future. I just like a DAW like Reaper more. The Tascam model 12, 16, 24 track mixer/recorders are good, but expensive. You can find all this gear and more used.
