Interface between my computer (windows 7, x3 usb) and my mesa boogie single rect.

House of Worship Mixing Board Recommendations?

Our church is in need of a new mixing board. We are currently using a 16 channel Soundcraft Sprit Live 4-2. We regularly use all 16 mono channels, two stereo channels and the cassette/CD channel.

old acoustic guitar strings vs new for recording

I have heard it said more than once that fresh strings are a prerequisite for a recording session. Being one who changes their strings fairly often, this is never a problem.

Headroom Explained?

Can anybody example the concept of headroom and give any suggestions on to gaining some more headroom with my tracking chain?
My chain is:
RODE NT1000 --> PreSonus TubePRE --> dbx 266XL --> Mbox 2 --> Pro Tools LE (Windows Vista/ 2GB RAM)

Someone said that I was having some tracking issues and the lack of headroom was one of the issues.
