Mic's need pre amps, line level is already amplified. So if you plug a mic into a line in it will be really quiet. edit: man I'm slow...two replies while I was replying.

You can get some cheaper USB interfaces that will do the trick if you don't need the guitar FX/ amp sims.

Yes it is.

How many do you need? You either need a simple splitter or a headphone amp.

I should have mentioned that in that diagram ignore the outs to the mixer and the mixer.

I think a netbook probably isn't a good idea. Netbooks are made to surf the net and check e-mails. There are lots of laptops out there that can do the job why a netbook?

A Presonus FireStudio and a Digimax would do the trick. Here's an example diagram... http://www.presonus.com/media/diagrams/FireStudio%202626%20for%20mobile%20recording.pdf Just for the two Presonus pieces of gear you'll be spending about $1100.00

For about $200.00 you could get something like the M-Audio fastrack pro. It also comes with software, or you could just try to use garage band. I think the money should go to a good quality mic, If you get a good one it will last a lifetime.

I have a fire studio and it works great.....now that I have the right firewire card. So just make sure whatever you buy is compatible with your mac. Here's the official list of approved chipsets from presonus http://www.presonus.com/media/pdf/hardware_compatibility.pdf

If gaming is a consideration a PC is your only choice. If your talking desktop you can get a kick ass computer for that kind of cash. The nice thing about a desktop is that it leaves room for modifications if you need a specific firewire card etc..

Yeah something wrong there. Are you using TRS cables or just TS? What about those trims for trhe speaker, could those be set wrong. Does it sound OK through phones?

They do say roughly based on it. I think that means it has a neck and strings. :D

I don't know cool edit but is there a monitor button you need to turn on on the track you're recording? I have a feeling though that with your current setup there would be too much latency, so you should really get an audio interface. Go here to learn about interfaces and home recording...

Are you sure you're not recording stereo tracks with a mono cable? Cause if it's recorded mono it should e centered or you should at least be able to pan it around.

An "Audio Interface" Something like a M-Audio FasTrack would do the trick. It comes with software that you can record with. Lots of options though. Do a quick google fo interfaces and you'll find tons. You could even upgrade and record all 7 at the same time if you have a way of sending the...

Is it an XLR to XLR cable?

What do you have plugged in when you crank the levels?

Locking tuners is the only way to go.

Yeah presonus has very specific firewire chipsets listed on the web site and if you don't have one you're screwed for tech support. I don't know why there is such a difference with FW chips but I know from experience that it makes a huge difference. They do list some PCI FW cards but I've heard...

There are a million reasons why you could be getting hiss. Don't write off an interface because of it. Cables can be a big one. I had a hiss problem once that would change frequencies when planes flew over (weird or what?). Turned out that it was a cable. With something like a Mic have you...
