Yes, but on Windows, the low-latency ASIO driver spec defines one device driver at one time. The other problem you get into is that, unless you have all devices word-clocked together, Each of the crystal internal clocks will drift over time and your recordings won't sync. Don't fight it. Use...

You need to look up to see if your specific hardware will support the latest OS. Apple has a chart somewhere. I think the latest Logic requires Mavericks so if you cant upgrade to that, you can't run it.

Google "how to use a multimeter"... Time to learn some basic electricity concepts. Doesn't help you to tell you "A, then B, then C" if you don't understand what you're doing.

Yup, online is international... Although you could try your local Craigslist if you don't mind the risk. I've never been in A local music store that didn't have a bulletin board for finding band members.

Leave the USB mics to the pod casters. Too many limitations...

Some effects in some daws are "proprietary", meaning they are coded to work only in that program. It's not as common as it used to be, but...

Bouncing was good (sometimes mandatory) back when computers had little horsepower. We don't have that problem any more.

Yup, Habor Freight is a better value, I got mine for $7 each. Better to get more of the HF blankets them and double up with an air gap.

Telling you how to 'hook everything up' won't teach you anything. Get a basic recording book from Amazon and learn the basics...

What are you playing them back with? (Software, your built in soundcard?) Midi is a very light protocol easily handled by sub-ghz machines.

Don't work on the boot drive. OS, apps an plugins on boot drive. Separate secondary drive for projects and tracks Third separate drive for sample libraries. Ssd's aren't magic. Your computer is doing lots of other things besides daw'ing...

No, you can only export the audio file from Cubase and then in a video editor, import the audio and save the merged files there. Keep things simple. If you're on a PC, I highly recommend Sony Vegas Studio. Less than $60, and dead easy to use.

Cubase is not a video editor. You need to use a video editor.

Built in sound cards are for gaming, not recording.

Leave the USB mics to pod casters. A $100 USB mic has a $40 mic and $40 interface in it.
