I don't know where you're looking, but there are tons of USB interfaces out there. If you still want to run a firewire interface on a USB port, it's entirely possible. I do it all the time. You'll need to get a firewire to USB card. You can't just buy the first card you see, you'll have to check...

I don't believe that at all. Anyone can do whatever they want, provided they put in the hours and train with the right people. If anything, starting early helps, a lot.

Do we have to do all 5 or is it like a best 3 out of 5 ?

Like, any other instrument, hone your skills. Work on it, practice hard, read about it, look at youtube singing videos. If you can, get lessons. How much you pay by the hour probably won't be up to you, he/she will have a rate. As for making yourself sound better, you can use a software like...

Why would anyone want to ? And wouldn't there be buffering issues, etc. ?

Go ahead. Which side are you on ? And as for answering the question, I probably wouldn't charge by the hour if I were you. You're just starting out, you don't have a range of equipment, a vast variety of mics to choose from, or a kick ass recording room. Just keep a set rate per song.

I sense a massive piracy debate in the near future :facepalm:

I wonder is there's scope for rotary engines in Formula racing ? I've heard they get a lot of performance out of small engines.

The top 3 forums, Newbies, Recording Techniques, and Mixing Techniques; all their latest posts are about drums. Suck on that guitarists :cool:

Same here. And the little isolation cap for the mic works pretty good for me too. To the OP, what's your snare situation ? If you're damping it too much it could simply be a problem of not too much snare as opposed to too much HH.

If she does, I hope for her sake she doesn't try to tell everyone how good her USB mic is :D

That works too !

Mmmm....asian women...:drunk:

But then again, that would mean some one might improve on the mix :D

That is kinda neat. Would be more interesting if there were separate fx for each track though.

Double track them, and pan them separately. Or do 3 takes, keep one in the middle, and 2 on each side. Keep the volume down on the ones you're panning, so it doesn't sound like different tracks. The idea is to get a full sound without making it sound messy. Goes without saying, the vocal...

Yep, I like the plate reverb on drums, especially the snare.

You too Brutus ?

Exactly, that's what I usually do. Bring in the double vocals in the chorus, makes it sounds richer and fuller, and gives the chorus a big impact too.

Well, that depends purely on what you want to record. If you do want an SDC, it would be wise to get a matched pair, if you can. Recording an acoustic guitar with 2 SDCs comes out really neat.
