You can get a M-Audio 1010 for about $450 clean, used,
or a tad over $500 new. Only you can
decide if you want to buy only four channels of A/D
or get more so you can add real preamps
later on.
But, you might think carefully about recording the
tracks at a commercial studio. Get eight tracks
with real mics in a big room, and then lay in your
vocals and guitars. A couple of hours at $50 each
may end up cheaper in the long run.
Getting lots of channels of I/O and really
good mics and preamps is worth it.
I'm not convinced that going low buck is
really saving anything.
YMMV
