You've opened a whole can of worms here. Two options: move your pc away from your tracking area (if fan noise when tracking is indeed your problem) or quieten your pc. www.silentpcreview.com Go to the guys there, they'll be able to help you a lot more than the people here.

You don't need to apply noise reduction on the raw vocal track unless it is particularly noisy. It really shouldn't be though. If you're running the correct gains and levels you should have any noise coming through. I run the outputs of my mixer into the line in of my card and assuming I set...

God Elixirs, don't get me started. 1) The reason they seem to age better is because they start off 'aged'. When you start off at the bottom there's nowhere to go. 2) The flakey shit they spew everywhere. And the price for this priviledge? Three or Four times the cost of regular strings. No...

I'd dare say any card you'd find today would be full duplex. They all started becoming full duplex around the SB Live era. Your post doesn't make much sense but I think what you're looking for is a 'monitoring' option. You can either unmute the line in in your audio mixer panel (bottom right...

Yeah I played around with GuitarRig2 for a few months. It can make some impressive sounds but I'd only ever use it for little licks here and there that I want to tweak later. There's just something artificial sounding about it.

Yeah well re-recording the vocals (sans the hiss) is obviously the best solution but a noise removal plugin would probably work well providing you have some 'silence' with the hiss in it too.

So, where do I sign?

I own an acoustic guitar and accidentally left it in it's case in the back of my car on a hot day (30+). Next time I released the string tension (changing strings) then bridge and nut fell off the guitar. Apparently they use a glue on those parts that releases with heat (so they can just use a...

Easiest way is to use LAME. Google it.

You'd have to go through the yamaha manual to see if it will allow midi to trigger accompaniment. It'd be alot easier to write your own accompaniment on the computer then play along to that. Normally it's just drums, so just load up reason/fruity/a midi file and play along to that.

Uhh many people here use protools.

Well I find a four track is all you need to record jam ideas. Even done it a few times on someones phone/voice recorder.

Hmm really depends. So you're obviously using your PC as a DAW, are you going to have multiple rooms setup? Live recording or one take?

I'm not familiar with that exact board but on the aux returns does it have buttons for assigning the returns to different tracks?

Yeah that's correct. I'd recommend re-encoding them to around 160kbps.

Like with most things it depends. If you are using the inbuilt sounds of the synth then you'll connect the line out (may have a different name) on the back of the synth to the line in of your soundcard on the computer. Then you record it just like you'd record any other audio. If you want to...

Well compression will make it 'sit' a bit tighter as you won't get volume fluctuations but if it sounds like it's very salient you might be doing something wrong. My suggestion is to try making it quite bassy (ie. aim the mic more towards the soundhole). See how that sounds. Now go and point...

That's right. Connect the line out from your device to the line in on your pc's soundcard. You'll either need a 3.5->3.5 plug or 2xRCA->3.5 depending on your device. That is assuming your soundcard has a 3.5 plug on the back, but seeing as you're asking the question I will assume it does (as...

It all comes down to experience. It also depends on what other instruments are present in the mix. When I record acoustic guitar in a mix with lots of other instruments I tend to leave it on the thinner side so it doesn't get as muddy in there. If you have no choice but to record either...
