as far as recording goes, DON'T pirate FL studio, get an audio interface and a condensor mic for tracking drums/vocals/acoustic guitars. that's really all you need for basic recording. if you have a decent budget you can go all out and get a mixer, studio monitors, multiple mics, soundproofing foam, that type of stuff. i have an audiobox usb ($50), behringer xenyx 1222usb mixer ($150-$200) that doubles as an audio interface, an akg xm58 dynamic mic ($50), and a forgetload of cables (XLR, 1/4" TRS, 3.5mm TRS, adapters, etc). my current studio setup has three synths, a drum machine and sampler a mic and my amp run into my xenyx for physical mixing and then into my PC through USB. it's worked for everything I need it to so far. however with a budget of $200, a cheap condensor mic, audiobox usb interface & a laptop should work just fine.
