Welly welly welly, been mulling this over for a while and now I need reassurance that this will be fine.

I have a Laptop, T3400 intelpentium 2x2.16GHZ
2GB RAM
500GB 7200rpm INTERNAL
250GB 5400rpm EXTERNAL
HD soundcard (I know, very vague but is the best i can do)

I have a guitar port and therefore an electric guitar. I almost exclusively use it with my TCelectroncs Repeater and a Crybaby.
I'm using Fruity Loops for everything studio wise, as a tracker, mixer, drums everything.
I have an LPK25 (would like the awesome MPK49) midicontroller.
I have a C01U USB mic.

I'm not trying to create an opus of recording possibilities but its about time I made my tunes into CHOOONS.
This will be fine for bedroom recording and mastering right? I'm making trip-hop an acoustic stuff. DnB and dub and reggae and a few mixes in my head will all followsuit but for now this is what im concentrating on, recording my guitar.

Any comments are welcome, dont hold back Im fairly Rookie.

hope this is alright in here....
 
It will be fine until you get to the mixdown. Then you'll need a monitoring system, and you'll have to treat the room so you can hear what's on the tape correctly.

Oh, and don't record to the 5400 RPM drive. Use it for backup or for other files.
 
Yeah the 54x drive came as standard so when I swapped it I just kept it for finished products, general space.

I'm not gonna need anything extra between mic and PC or anything like that? I've tried to do it so I don't.

Also running guitar->FX->amp->guitarport->laptop will be OK? Sure, I can use the port as a preamp but I have the real deal so I'd rather not use emulated tones.
