No one can help with any of these questions?
If anyone has any input at all, it would really be appreciated.

Hopefully once its at the top of the page again, someone might see it.

Thanks

I have a question about playback monitors.

Let me just fill you in first...

I use DO from my Line6 amp directly to my soundcard.
Though, as soon as that tax refund gets here im getting an SM57.
This way I can hear it through my amp when I record.
(once you plug in a cable to the DO it mutes the amp)
The for doing multiple tracks I use a pair of KOSS headphones that my dad has had since the 70's. Though they are really good, i think..??...

Im just trying to do a decent demo and use this method to get ideas down. Nothing professional.

But for playback, i need a monitor, not crummy ol computer speakers. So i have a few questoins about monitor.

1. Can I use the monitors while recording to do multiple tracks.
(instead of headphones)
2. Whats the best bang for my buck. (trying to keep it under $300)
3. Can i use my monitors for other audio functions on my pc, ie. playing music, games....and stuff like that.
4. What other items/expenses are there with setting up playback monitors. Or are there any?

Thanks
willy

1. If you dont have a control room and youre recording in the same room as youre recorder,and you have youre monitors on----youll get feed back----so :no: you cant have youre monitors on.
