thus far my thoughts are to get an older 14 channel mixer and then, for now, mix it into a decent home stereo tape recorder live. this would do for the meantime until i saved for a harddisk recorder or some other multitrack recorder. or i could get an all in one mixer/hard disk recorder like the fostex fd8 which would require multitracking because of limited concurrent channels. i guess that wouldn't be too bad. not planning on doing live gig any time soon. and it would give me both mixing recording. any thoughts on a fairly cheap setup to get me up and mixing, if not recording as well, for a measly $800. thanks.

an behringer MX1602 can be bought in the uk for 180 new, that leaves 380 for the other stuff, my advice is to buy a good (three head) quality tape deck.. save your pennies for other things and get the digital mastering sorted when your happy with the quality of your mixes.. I had a dat recorder sitting around for 2 years doing nothing while my mixing techniques improved.. I wish I'd spent my cash differently at the time. If you really desparately need to master to a dat then hire or borrow one.
