Individual tracks? Yes. Driver issues. No, all motu drivers are in the same installer and are updated. (I still use a mkII) Mixer. Yes, but you're not clear about what you want. You can use the headphone and lineouts to send mixes to the band.

Dont use the metronome. Build yourself a looped midi track of quarter notes (or whatever you want) and use a sampler or vsti of whatever sounds you want (soundfonts are free) You can even render out the midi track to an audio track and take up zero cpu resources. Once you realize how easy it...

Remember to record at 48khz so the sync will match up. Final audio file for video is 16bit/48k. I highly suggest you get Sony Vegas Studio (<$50) it's an easy, no-fail video editor (and you can use your audio vst's in it.)

If you're looking for a vsti, Kontakt.

Reaper. You're not going to find anything "easy". MIDI was made bit slide-rule bit head programmers in the 1970s; it's gonna be a chore...

Yup, you picked the wrong box. The ada8000 is an adat expander (to add 8 more channels to an interface using ADAT) Now if you get an interface with an ADAT port on it, you're set. You really need to learn the basics of what you're buying before you whip out the credit card...

Go to the music vendor sites and get a recording package: interface, mic, monitors & stands. While you're shopping get a basic recoriding book; you will save many $$$$$ if you know what you are shopping for...

Plenty of free organ soundfonts and soundfont vsti's out there....

First get a good book and learn the basics before you waste precious money. A $20 copy of Home Recording for Dummies (don't laugh at the title) will save you $$$$$$$. Then you can get an interface, an sm-57, a sm-58, some headphones and save up for monitors. We've all been there, but you're...

You'll end up doing more sonic harm than good.

Xp is newer than vista. I ran Vegas studio on my Xp laptop for years (still on my old laptop) Unfortunately the newer versions want win7 minimum so you'd have to find an older version. Have you looked at the requirements for Premeir Elements?

I highly suggest you look at Sony Vegas Studio. Less than $50, very easy to use and 80% of their $500 package. I use it personally and commercially.

Because Cubase is not a video editor...

You need to sit down with ONE project and get it done to learn how to make a finished product. If you were flailing around on a handful of woodshop projects or 2 dozen upgrades to your car without getting anything done you wouldn't learn those skills, either...

I just got an iPad and I'm starting to use the free Teamviewer. Give a complete control of the screen of my iMac (works on Windows too) from anywhere in my house.

First thing he needs is some background knowledge: A book to explain the basic concepts so he doesn't waste money

So it DOESN'T work ok... take it back and get something else.

Yup, digital is not tape, you don't want to slam the needles. What everyone said above, stay below -10 to -18

To repeat my point, if you put it on the track going in, you have no further options. Record your tracks dry and you have options. The choice is, as always, yours...

Far better to go Mic>Preamp>Interface and add the effects to the dry track inside your daw software. Once compression and reverb is on, you can't adjust it (and you'll probably want to...) But otherwise, yes that is a common path.
