    Is it worth spending $2000 on Mic?

    I've never tried any of these mics, but I'm guessing if they're selling for $1k more and are selling, there's a $1k difference.

    I need advice about recording my first band for $$

    When I recorded my friend's band for a crappy demo they could send around (crappy because of my skills, not theirs) all I charged them was food. That was one Big Mac meal with an orange soda.

    making my gear work for me

    effects for acoustic guitar...

    Does the guitar sound amazing when you play it? That might be a problem. If you can't get that sound to tape then it looks like you have a microphone placement problem.

    making my gear work for me

    I don't really get what you're looking for. Are you looking for a way to do the initial tracking or for the mixing afterwords? Do you mix in the box?

    questions

    ADC is analog to digital converter. That's what soundcards do. The other questions are all up to you. Depending on the tracks you're recording (for you a stereo mix for acoustic guitar) you may want a mixer and you may not. For you I'd say get a dual preamp so you can record your guitar in...

    basic preamp terminology questions

    Do you have the phantom power on? If you have the gain cranked and you aren't getting a good level that might be a problem.

    Great River Pres

    Have you tried them on snare? I'm thinking of getting one for kick and snare, then looking for a second dual (great river?) for the overheads.

    Normalising is good?

    And make sure to listen to Blue Bear.

    Normalising is good?

    Who's told you that it's good to do? From my understanding it's a big no no, because while it amplifies the highest peak to whatever, it also amplifies the noise by the same amount.
