If you are into DIY, there are a bunch of sites online that will help you get started. If you have a computer with a soundcard and a microphone, you are well on your way. Its not gonna sound pro, but its a good way to get your music out there. Read as much as you can. There are a 1000 little things that can help you get a better sound. We DIY'd our own EP (computer, Cakewalk Pro Audio, several mics, and a mixer) and it turned out pretty good. As I said, not pro quality, but at least its tolarable and gets your music out there.
If I were you, I would read as much as possible, then decide if you would rather DIY (free if you have equipment, costly if you dont) or if you would rather go to a studio (lowest cost $20/hr). If you have alot of money at your disposal, I would recommend a studio. Its much less work, and you will probably be more happy with the results.
