I just started getting into computer recording. Right now I have a pretty crappy setup - just an HP laptop, SoundBlaster Extigy, and Logitech computer speakers. I used Audio Studio 7 I bought from Staples for $30. 
This is metal music...
Riff only in mono (Recorded with a Digitech 2120):

Incomplete song with drums, no EQ:

Incomplete song with drums, Hi and Lo EQ boost:
http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=4035595&q=hi
Track 1 (Stereo) = Drums / Boss DR-770
Track 2 (Mono) = Rhythm 1 / panned hard left / Boss GT-3 - direct
Track 3 (Mono) = Rhythm 2 / panned hard right / Boss GT-3 - direct
Track 4 (Mono) = Lead / center / Boss GT-3 - direct
Note: no bass guitar on any tracks...
Please give me some insights about sound, mixing, and the playing in general. I am thinking about getting a Presonus Firebox, a Sennheiser e906, and pair of monitors under $200. Any inputs on any of these? Thanks for listening.
