    I'm bored, let's discuss things you can't hear.

    I am of the opinion that you very rarely (read: not) can hear the difference between different audio interfaces and converters. From reading about the most well thought out tests on gear like this, I understand that the ear detects differences in playback level down to 0.1dB. You won't hear one...

    Tascam 388 VU meter

    You're welcome! It could also be the other components around the OP, like resistors and also bad solder joints, or loose cables.

    Tascam 388 VU meter

    Headphone Output Observation / Question

    These things are often attributed to tiny differences in playback level. If you want to go all scientific, you could build a splitter where you could insert a dB-meter / volt-meter between the output and the cans. Blind tests are preferable too.

    Tascam 424 Heavy Mic Buzz

    Make sure that the power supply is away from the 424 and the mic lead. Try all 4 inputs, if they all perform the same, that's probably as good as it gets. Something to try would be to use a mic preamp before going into the 424. Edit: Also the XLR - 1/4" cable is unbalanced. You want to keep...

    Best recording software on a budget?

    I use Reaper. You can try it for free, with a nag-screen on startup. It's only 60 bucks with several new versions included in the price. I started out with Logic, tried Cubase and Nuendo. What I've found is that the more fiddling in the DAW you have to do, the more it kills creativity, at least...

    Mic Bleed

    The thing is: If bleed is an issue, probably the performance (or mix) wasn't great. Sure you can move the mics a little, but the difference in terms of bleed will be slim. If the performance was great, a hihat that's a few dB'd too high won't be a deal breaker.

    Snare drums, differences, how many do you really need? etc

    If your focus is recording, the amount of processing of modern snare sounds makes the actual drum less important. Tuning and playing technique is a big part too, of course.

    Mic Bleed

    From what I can tell from the photo, this setup should work just fine. Maybe just play the hats a little softer.

    I could use some help with my drum tracks

    Just be careful that the audix f15 is not clipping. Usually low cost condensers can't take the SPL from a snare.

    dead in the water - probably a dumb question

    If I was in your situation, I'd get a second hand mobo, just check that the drivers for it (graphics, chipset etc) supports XP. Newer mobo's might not.

    Used Hi-Hats for Poor People

    Maybe not the most popular brand, given the current situation :p but Wuhan cymbals can be quite cheap. I also remember playing Paiste Alpha in school a long time ago and thought they were decent.
