Noob here, home recording ideas and options

Hey,

I am trying to record some of my songs at home, I can play guitar okay, can play the drums on a keyboard and sing a little.

I want it to sound respectable but doesn't have to be super quality sound.

Items I have access to:
guitars, microphones, computers, Fostex MR-8, and a Fender Princeton amp

Mastering Home Recordings

Forums

I'm currently at the final stages of mixing my bands EP which I've recorded entirely at home with my own gear. I would really like to get the tracks sounding good enough to be played on local radio, but i'm not sure whether it is worth the effort to get them mastered. Is it common to get a decent sounding home recording mastered, or would i be just wasting my money?

home recordings

I have just recorded a track at a friends home studio. The recording sounds great on his studio system and on my system at home. However when I play it on my standard car system, there is a rattling in the left speaker in certain parts at a certain volume.

I then put on popular bands like ColdPlay and Artic Monkeys and the buzz is absent. Why? And How do I remedy this.

new to home recording, please help

I have a ZOOM MRS-802CD and a Mackie DFX12 I am trying to record a couple song for the band I am in, my only problem is recording drums and basically trying to get it to sound as professional as possible with what I have. Of course if I have to buy more equipment I would be willing to for the sake of producing a better sound.
