that's way ahead of what many start with. You should be fine with it, except for the recording software. What type will you use?

How much have you got to spend on the software alone?

 

[contro]

i can get any software program for free, so just name the best stuff that u think we should get

Ok i've just had a look on the net;

PreSonus Firepod FireWire Audio Interface with Mic Preamps
8 Discrete Microphone Preamps (+60dB gain) w/ Trim Control
8 Analog Mic/Line Inputs, 2 Instrument Inputs
Cubase LE Audio Production Software Included
$599 + Free shipping + Free HP4 Headphone amp
Here

Than you can use the Behringer Eurorack UB802 mixer to monitor, so that eliminates the crappy pre amps on the behringer. There fore you run your microphones straight into the Firepod.

Firepod $600
UB802 $50 - zzounds
Dx4 $150 - zzounds
AKG K44 $24 - music 123

ok thanks alot for lookin around for us, but is there a preamp cheaper than that because we really cant afford that right now.

Maybe something like this is for you, Lexicon Omega Studio USB Audio Interface . It's all in one, interface/mixer and it comes with Steinberg’s Cubase LE, all through USB.
$300

Than all you need is;
Monitors: MAudio dx4 -$150
Mics/Popfilter: MXL990/991 -$100 + $25
Headphones: AKG K44 -$24

You can think about getting other mics, once you can afford them.

TOTAL :$599
