Which one is better in your opinion? Note I have an MPC4000 if it makes a difference

This is the kind of post I hate to make because I know the real answer is "listen and decide for yourself" - but I have to special order some mics in and will not be able to A/B them. I'll be using these for lots of applications, but their primary use for me is going to be as drum overheads, that's where they'll live 95% of the time.

A little sick of the questionable quality of lower end gear. I'm not looking for a major investment but I'm looking for something reliable. I've been considering the A&H Zed R16 or there's also the Fireface. I know that people are quite satisfied with the RME stuff. I'm wondering though about the Zed R16. Anyone using it with Windows 7?

My current monitors frequency response is from 65hz to 23kHz now my question is that will I have a lot of difference if I had a monitor that has a frequency response of 50hz to 23kHz? Basicly I have a compact two way 4in monitors and I was wondering that if mine was a 5in woofer instead would you hear a difference on lower end much in general.

Hi, I recently purchased a Radial X-Amp with high hopes on reamping.

I connect my X-Amp to the guitar amp and no noise... all is good,
then when I plug into the X-Amp's input from the Fireface's out (TRS>XLR) I get huge hum noise.
Thats when the ground lift is engaged, when its not it sounds like a jet engine.

Let me preface this by saying that I have next to no knowledge about gear or recording techniques. I am here because I need help setting up my equipment and I have no idea how to even begin. Also, I apologize if I am a.) posting in the wrong place, b.) repeating a previous post, or c.) not supposed to be posting here at all.

HEY GUYS!

I have an Ibanez acoustic electric and an Audio-Technica AT3035 condenser mic. I've been getting half decent sounds mixing with the Ibanez' preamp/eq for straight in recording and with just Micing the guitar, but it could be much better. Maybe there's a low budget mic good for picking up acoustic guitar, I don't know.

How much does VOVOX cable cost?

I am setting up a home studio and am not sure of a good interface to use between my instruments and my computer. I will be getting a new home desktop PC just for the studio at a later date and am not worried about that yet. I want a nice interface that can help me by remembering setting of all types for the tracks I work on, etc.
