    Hey guys. This is an original riff I came up with and put it with a song I'm sure you're familiar with. I recorded this with 2 AKG Dynamic Mics (crappy!), a Marshall G10 MK II (the small one w/ 3 nobs). I couldn't get the tone right on the rhythm guitar that's panned to the left, don't know...

    How important is a Microphone?

    Does the quality of a microphone affect volume? I'm just thinking, when I used to record into my web-cam, everything was soft. I'm using a couple 20 dollar dynamic mics right now, and it's louder. If I got a couple SM57s would it be louder still?

    ASIO - What do I need?

    I'm about to buy a 4-piece Shure drum-micing kit. My software has ASIO support. I know I'm going to need to buy one of those USB devices that has like 6 inputs so that I can have each drum as a seperate track in my software. The thing is though, where can I get a mixer with that many outputs...

    Sounding Louder?

    It seems for me that all the time I'm sounding so much softer than other, professional recordings. Granted, I'm using 2 cheap dynamic microphones and a Dell Dimension desktop, but I would think that only would affect the quality of the sound. Should I invest in a good condensor mic? It just...
