Really depends on WHAT you're trying to do: record your band, write and
record tunes on your own, create high quality audio for release versus
just demos, etc. Also depends on the kind of music and
instrumentation.
But...
Multi-track recorder - Essential because you can't play everything
at once
Drum machine - Essential if you don't have a drummer
Keyboard - essential if you want to put down any instruments you
can't play
MIDI sequencer - if you don't play keys, is a good way to help you
create keyboard parts. If you do play keys, is a great way
to do the entire production yourself. If you also buy a
synchronizer (allows sequencer to sync to tape) you can also
save tape tracks by avoiding having to put the keyboards down
on tape.
