Budget?

What types of sound sources are you going to record?

Those are pretty useful pieces. Your big decision is an interface (which will take the output from the mixer preamps, convert the analog signals to digital, and send it to the computer), a computer (a new one for audio or perhaps some upgrades for the one you have), and recording software. Do you have any preferences on these?

Budget wise, I don't haver that much to work with, but I'm not going for extreme quality (If I had the money I would).

I'm focusing right now on recording drums since I already have a set-up for recording guitar/bass/vocals (more on that below)

I already own a Lexicon Omega interface, that I probably should have mentioned, that I'm basically using as a DI for a guitar amp and vocal mics. I have a pretty good computer (built for gaming, but works for audio). I also have Reason 4 LE that came with the Omega, and know it pretty well.

Also, heres the spec for my PC incase you were wondering:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
4096MB of RAM
2x nVidia 9800GT's (not relevant to this)
640GB WDC HD
PLDS DVD+-RW DH-16A6S SCSI CdRom Device
Windows Vista (TM) Home Premium Home Edition 6.00.6001 Service Pack 1

Nobody can help me out here?

Looks like you got some info, what more do you want? Not everyone on here is gonna get back to you right away, let it simmer a while. Nobody sits on this site hitting F5 like I have the past few days...

Be a little more specific, like "I need an 8 input ADC, what do you suggest?" or "How should I set up my mics on the kit?", that sort of thing.

As far as types of mics... Eh... Here:

Directional Dynamic mics on everything except overheads and hi-hat, for OH and HH get some Condensers.

How many I/O are on on the Omega? I forget, is it two or four?

BTW, 1604, good little mixer.

And (and), that computer you have should be able to do more tracks, and more plugins per track, than you could possibly ever need it to do.

The Omega has 4x 1/4" and 2x XLR

I guess I just wanted to know which mics I should use for each drum, and afterwards what mics I would need to get.

I got the stuff today, and the AKG is a D880.

So my full list of mics and gear COULD use for this is now:
Studio Projects B1
Shure SM57
AKG D880
Mackie 1604 vlz pro
Furman RP-8D
Behringer T1953
QSC RMX 1450
AKG D5

how much of this is useful, and what additional gear do i need to record?
