Hey, dude-----

Here's all you need for a quite spectacular recording:
--2 good mikes
--2 good tube mike preamps
--a DAT recorder
--a simple little board with a least 2 channels, volume and some
    tone EQ----but this is optional.

Do some research, spend about 2 grand, and you're in......OR:

hire a hungry young recording engineer/home studio owner to bring his stuff
in and do it....one day, 3-400 bucks, and you're in.

Easy.  Post me privately and we can talk over the phone about it
