So how much does it cost to record a demo/album?

I imagine that the drums and vocals are hard to do at home. I presume you can just plug a guitar in to a 'magic box' that connects to a computer and record it pretty much anywhere that's reasonably quiet.

Would it be feasible to record the drums and vocals at a studio but do the guitars and mixing at home?

Yeah you could do that but it'd still have to be mixed and mastered twice, meaning yet more money.

But you need an M-Box to run ProTools, so how do the illegal versions work?

They don't as far as I know. Not cheap to get either (£1200?)

Christ almighty, no they're not that much. The proper big boys HD version is about a billion pounds, but you can get different versions of the Pro Tools LE with the M-Box. I've got the M-Box Mini, which I think cost around £200, maybe a bit more. Then you can get one thats a bit bigger, and then the Factory Pro one, I think it goes up to around £400-£500. You can also get it with the 002 big box thing, which is probably a bit more, but I don't know how much. And then there's that big boy HD rig, which is really for proper good studios.

I have to say, I'm still not sure how this all works but I do understand the level of my ignorance now! Thanks for all the comments.

A billion pounds.
