Hi there,
As far as I see you are not going to record many channels simultaneously right?
I have to say that it does not really matter novadays if it is usb of firewire, specially if you only need 1 or 2 channels.
considering above I would recommend
Emu Tracker Pre USB 2.0 Audio Interface...
Check out this two deals
Tascam US1641 USB 2.0 Audio/MIDI Interface
Zoom R16 Multi-Track SD Recorder Interface and Controller
The first will give you 16 channels of recording, 8 of those are XRL with microphones preamps.
The secong has 8 inputs with preamps, but it can also work as a...
I guess the digidesign interfaces should work abs digidesign is a ProTools developer?
Digidesign Interfaces
Now it's only left to deside how many channels of simultaneous recording you need and what connection you want USB 2.0 or Firewire
Cheerz!!
Vista has problems with around 80% of 3rd party drivers and softwares.
Vista is only good for those who does not expect from a PC more than it would look nice, typing and playing Solitare.:D
I always wounder in this Firewire VS USB 2.0 battles. Look guys, how many USB devices you normally have connected to your recording PC? Interface, MIDI keyboard, mouse and keyboard maybe? Let's calculate. The USB 2.0 speed is 480 Mbit/s. Assume you record 8 tracks simultaneously with 24bit/96kHz...
May I ask?
Why if you wan't to have everithyng in computer at the end you want to record in analog?
Why not simply buy an audio interface and record directly into the PC?
This is much easyer for a beginner to start this way than meesing around with analog?
There is a number of them availible

The disadvantage of this keyboard that it has very few control knobs and dials. Not a broblem for me, but many peopla like to...
I would choose
Tascam US2000 USB 2.0 Audio Interface
It will provide you with 8 mic inputs, 6 line inputs and 2 instrument inputs. 16 in total so it is quite enough to record a band with live drummer even. 24bit/96kHz samplind is kind of standard. Robust design. Steinberg Cubase software for...
Not a bad choice
BUT Vista? I don't trust it. I would look for XP as drivers for this OS are more stable.
With XP you can use maximum 3GB of RAM. If it will DDR3 RAM this is quite enough for the software you have mentioned.
Another thing is the hardriwe. It is better two have to HDDs on the...
If you are ready to trade 2 inputs for good preamps you can ave a look at
M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8R USB 2.0 Audio Interface

or, with a same idea

If you are ready to spend 700$ i would look at

With this you will be able to record wit up to 192kHz sampling rate. You also will get the ability to expand the number of channels with ADAT for up to 26 inputs outputs later on
Between the option...
You will need one more amp in this case and an A/B switch. Or you have to have and amp that sounds clean, but gets overdriven to the required extent when "warmed up" with a tube screamer.
If you want to get a higher gain from the JCM900 you should never use some high gain pedals.
The classical approach would be to put a Tube Screamer infront of the amp.
The sound of overloaded amp depends a lot on the pickups you have on your guitar. You have to have some high output humbacker...
Hello,

MXR is a very good one, I used this quite a lot when I was performing live. It does exctly what a boost pedal has to do - boosts te signal without giving it an extra color
MXR M133 Micro Amp Boost Peda

ModTone MT-CB Clean Boost Pedal
