Hi,
I'm a guitarist and I'm just about to get in to the home recording thing. I was thinking of getting a V-amp2 and an Audiophile 2496 (looks like a great card for a beginner like myself).
I probably can't afford a decent set of monitors....so I was thinking of using a good set of headphones until I can spare the cash for some monitors. Will I be able to plug headphones directly into the Audiophile, or will I need a pre amp for them? The PC is going to be set up in the corner of my bedroom, so if I do get monitors, how will the sound that's reflected off the adjacent wall affect what I'm supposed to be hearing?
Speaking of the PC, I'l probably go for an AMD 2000XP+, but I have no idea which motherboard would be suitable. There seem to be dozens to choose from, so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Simmo.
