i've been reading these forums for a while now, and i don't wanna sound like they're not useful cuz they definitely are, but i wanted to post something i recorded so that i could get advice on what I'M doing right and/or wrong in my recordings, as opposed to learning from someone else's mistakes or successes.

here's my set up:
PreSonus Firepod
12" Mac G4 Powerbook
Garageband 2

On this track i used 5 mics on the drums: some cheap cads (can't recall the name, sorry!) for overheads, AT2020 on hihat, SM57 on snare, and D112 on kick. for guitars i used the 57 again and i d/i-ed the bass from my bass player's head. I just bought Logic Express, but haven't really had the chance to get into it that much, so i tracked in garageband.

my question is, given the gear listed above, did i do ok? how can i improve the sound of my recordings? anything would be helpful and i thank you guys and gals in advance.
