but I think getting an inexpensive usb condenser mic ($150-$200), a decent set of headphones, and downloading Audacity would be a good start.

It's pretty amazing how good stuff sounds in the "digital age" with $300 or so worth of equipment.

Check out "Kompoz" online, lots of amateur recordings there that sound great. I have contributed on songs several there myself.
