Well then Yamaha's it is. Thanks guys. K, one more, I bought an alesis gt condenser, and I'd like one more as to have two good room mics for micing up the kit. Rode Nt1 or AKG C3000? For $200 I don't think I can pass up the Rode.

The Yamaha's sell for about $50 more so I was just wondering if I'd be better off spending the extra money? I will be powering them with an older ADA 100 wattx2 power amp, will this be adequate? BTW, mostly recording harder alternative music, digitally through my computer.

Try the ATI Rage Fury with "tv-out." It's a 32mb video card (great for gaming), but with a tv output on the back to allow you to use a tv as a monitor, althought I agree with drstawl on the drawbacks. http://www.ati.com/na/pages/products/pc/rage_fury/index.html

If nothing else I would beef up your ram to at least 128. I've always prefered Celeron over a full pentium chip of the same speed simply because the price and the whole "finding a word in a smaller dictionary" theory. I've had two maxtors fry up on me, fortunately I had everything backed up...

I'd like to utilize both plug-ins and outboard gear in my digital recording environment. Are there certain devices that are generally "better" in an audible sense in either plug-in or outboard form? Like would it be a good move to use an eq plug in, but spend the cash to get a good external...

In your experience, is there a mic preamp that is maybe a little better for use during mix down (in my case out of my sound card, into a mic pre amp, out of the pre amp into a 2 track), then as an actual pre amp for a mic? Or would throwing an Art tube mp between the two points give me some of...

Thanks guys for the advice. And thanks for the feedback on the nick name.

As opposed to playing drums live and recording them that way, I would like to record literally one drum/cymbal at a time, and put together the drum tracks in acid. Disregard the amount of holes in the plan I just described and suggest to me some high end mics to be used to record snare, kick...

So I'm building a computer-based multitrack recording studio, small but efficient. In addition to my super computer and sound card (24bit with multiple i/o's) should I invest in a small mixer to be used for monitors and headphones, things like that? Or should I just purchase a sound card with...

Oh good to hear. I just figured like so many other things in this feild, bypassing the use of a physical mixer would be too good to be true. I would like to, in the future though, find myself a couple really nice neve mic pre's. But thanks again for answering my question!
