---Say Hi To The Board NEWB---

Ok, bought the emu, I like it, love, but Im kinda in a rush to get familiar with it, so please, any body with experience with this, what is a reasonble setup for say, recording a five peice band, (brand names not needed). .
I have always used plain old sound cards, really, no semi pro equipment, so a mixer, headphone amp, montor, etc basic setup is what Im trying to "grasp".
Also, how come I cant send ALL my inputs to the wave channel? Thats about to get on my nerves. .
