Not sure if they are in your budget or not but maybe some Sennheiser HD280's. I've seen them recommended many times and I actually have a pair coming for Christmas so hopefully they're good.

Just get apTrigga. It's just over $50 and does a very good job. Here is the link to the product page: http://www.apulsoft.ch/aptrigga/

I did a video a while back which showed you how to do this in Logic 8. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d51NFoX4ze8 It's a fairly long video so if you don't want to watch the whole thing just head over to 3:30 and thats where I talk about putting the drums on individual tracks.

The kick doesn't really sound like a kick in that clip. Everything else sounds pretty good though to me. I'm not a serious drummer but I feel that the kick is really lacking power.

This is a sample mix our band has put together and we would like feedback on what everything sounds like to you guys. So let us know what you guys think, and if you have any suggestions please post them. Thanks. The song is called "Welcome to Insanity". Here is the link...

Yeah the Behringer quality topic really is annoying. Ive had my Behringer UB2222 mixer for 4 years and I havent had a single problem with it (knock on wood).

Whats wrong with a Peavey. The peavey 5150 is a great amp.

You could look for a used Peavey 5150 combo. They go for around that price range.

What I like to do is to copy the original drum tracks and place them on new separate tracks and add quite a bit of reverb to one version of those tracks and leave the others just completely dry. Then I adjust the volume to get the right amount of reverb that I'm looking for. I find that it works...

Ive got a MXL 990 Condenser mic and I actually really like it. Ive had it for 2 years or so with no problems whatsoever. It works great for recording acoustic guitar and for vocals. For the price I'd really recommend it.

You can actually buy printable CD's if your printer has the capability to print on CD's. I think Zzounds sells them online for a pack of 100 its like 35 dollars or something like that. Thats what my band is planning on doing when we get done recording our CD.

Yeah the problem is not your mixing but rather your tracking. The saying "crap in equals crap out" applies in recording as well. Your guitar tone sounds very thin. First of all I'd take that gain down to around half maybe a little more. Then I would either double up the guitars, or in some cases...

How does this sound to you guys. The mix is called: AFM Mix. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=622812

Ive got a Santa Rosa Macbook running Logic 7.2 on OSX and its very stable. Logic has never froze or even slowed down for me, and I currently only have 1 gb of ram installed. It was 1200 USD so I dont know how much that is to you but it was well worth it in my opinion.

I just use RCA outputs for mine because I only record guitar, vocals, and bass at my place. You would need a firewire interface something like a Presonus FirePod or a Alesis io|26 for cheaper solutions. There are more out there that are more expensive but those two would work fine for recording...
