Hi,I searched for previous posts that may have answered my question but I didnt find any.I just want to know all I'd need for a basic pc recording setup.Right now I'm laying some basic tracks with my mic/guitar preamp going straight into the computer inputs using Audacity software.I just want to multitrack maybe occasionally recording a few tracks at once.I want to know the pieces of equipment I would need for a decent quality sound and some brands and model suggestions would be nice.Under 200$ a piece would be the price range.Also,what is firewire?Is it simply an outboard sound processor as opposed to an internal card?Also currently when I record,the monitored volume is alot lower than what is actually being recorded but this is only on certain inputs.I'm suspecting and hoping this would be fixed with a recording soundcard.
