I pulled this from my post in Lightning Strikes, thought it was more appropriate here:

When it comes to recording, I'm an ignoramus, so here are a few basic questions......

Does anybody else have a quick and dirty method that is effective at getting good sound clips, without buying a recording studio? Like maybe record to tape, then downloaded to my computer hard drive?

What format would I need it in, Mp3 probably. What is the best setting for sound quality without creating a file so large that it crashes the computer?

How do I post a sound file here? do I need another site to host the clip, then create a link to it?

Thanks to anyone that can further my education on recording clips!!!!!

Hey Twangy, the cheap and dirty method is mic into soundcard and capture the results in a shareware product like n-Track Studio http://ntrack.com/ntrck_sw.exe . You can even add effects like reverb to the mix and then mix down to mp3. The results will be dependant on the quality of your mic and soundcard. I use a Audiophile 2496 soundcard http://www.digit-life.com/articles/maudioaudiophile/ but I also have a little Behringer mixer that feeds it so I can use an external reverb unit for vocals etc.. Try to avoid recording to tape first as that will introduce noise you don't need.
