Any help in getting me off the ground would be appreciated!
My current musical equipment:
* 4 Electric guitars—Strats, Tele, and LP
* 1 Acoustic Guitar
* 3 Vintage Fender amps (50W range)
* 1 Line6 Flextone amp
* 1 Shure BG1.1 Microphone
* Several guitar pedals including a Framptone Amp Switcher for running 2 amps in unison
Here’s the PC-studio configuration I have in mind:
* Pentium III 866 with 128 meg RAM
* 40 gig HD
* CD-RW and separate DVD
* Turtle Beach Santa Cruz DSL sound card
* Cakewalk Guitar Studio 2
Questions:
1. I assume that I can connect directly to the sound card from the Line6 Flextone’s direct out. Is that right?
2. For the Fender amps and any vocals/harmonica/etc. I assume I will need some kind of mic pre amp. Coud you recommend a few good, reasonably priced pre amps? Ebay?
3. I assume I’ll need better speakers (stereo monitors) than the game-oriented PC ones. Do I need an amp to drive them too? Any recommendations for the monitors and driver amps? Ebay?
4. Any comments regarding the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz card?
5. What else do I need to get rockin’?
Thanks much!
