Need help choosing an AUDIO INTERFACE

I want to setup a studio for my band, but I'm not sure what type of audio interface I should get.

- I'll mainly be recording guitar and vocals
- I want to be able to plug the guitar straight in and record
- I'll be using a Dell XPS with 4 GB RAM & Processor 2.40GHz

I'm looking at the M-Audio Fast Track Pro, is it any good?

Help with live orchestral performance

At times, I have to record a live orchestra performance but the organiser of the concert refused to let me put up overhead mic stands on stage as they affect the view of the audience. Since I do not have any access to set up suspending microphone, up to now, what I would do is to place the mics at around performers' height, 3-4 in front of the orchestra and 2 in front of the woodwind section.

Good midi keyboard recommendation? Need2 Change VST w/ pedal & non-distorted sounds?

I currently have a Yamaha YPT-400 Keyboard and I wanted to upgrade my midi capabilities. I want to do more with it, and sometimes when I press 5 keys at once, my VST gets distorted. (left hand stops even though Im holding the note. Not sure if that's keyboard related)

Anywho

Front of drum kit miking: how do you do it?

Hi.
I read some forum threads and posts on drum recording. One thing that interests me is FOK Micing (it stands for front of kit, right?). I am definitely gonna try and put one or two mics in front of the kit in addition to the the room mics. I thought it would be cool to get some inspiration on how to set them up from people who are using FOK mics.
