great thread! I'm trying to learn more about recording as well. My band has been recording our practices for a while now, playing around with mic placements. We originally just used two condenser mics in the room and we able to come up with a decent sound

But this method gave little control after the fact.. it was all mic placement.

We've now go four mics to use but we're still figuring out where to place them.

Our gear isn't that great though. We're actually using two laptops both set up with a Line 6 toneport UX2. So two tracks on each machine. Ideally I'd like to get something like the Firepod which will make my life a lot easier. Do those of you that have the firepod recommend it?

I've heard great things about the Focusrite Saffire.

Lots of ins and outs and great sounding mike pre's

Some of the best 'bang for buck' around...and it's a pretty big bang.

Thanks to Snappy Homefry of the Chameleon Project for spending a day with me showing me the power of Logic! I'm stuck on a PC for now - but it was a great tutorial!
