I was reading through the Digi 002 req's, and The MusicXPC professional desktop was mentioned. This looks like a slick little powerful desktop that's tailored to the job. I would be using this w/ a Digidesign 002 as the center of a DAW. Any knowledge/experience with these computers? (note: I'm...

I'm interested in spending between $1500-$2000 on a desktop as the center of a recording set-up. My main goal is live tracking of drums, but I'm looking to expand into more live tracking and MIDI. What are some examples of computer systems that would work with my needs? (either PC or Mac...

Hoping not to spend more than around $700 for the pair. I was looking at AKG C 430's, but thought...

Well I am thus far more or less a complete new-comer to the wonderful world of recording. (I'm coming at this as a drummer, so have some sympathy :-). I've read Recording for Musicians for Dummies, a couple of mic' technique books, and I'm starting to read Yamaha's sound reinforcement handbook...
