AES standard for labelling tracks

I've been searching for the standard, as I've been told there is such, but can't seem to find anything.

What I mean is how to label the tracks. I remember hi hats were HH, top snare was something like Top Sn., etc. I've been told there's a standard so when giving sessions to other engineers it makes their lives easier.

Thanks for any help!

Advice Wanted Please

Hi there,
I'm looking to get back into recording my own stuff again and was wondering if anyone had any advice on which home recording studio to get. I started off years ago with fostex 4 channel tape studios and my last one was a 4 channel MD recording studio however I have certain requirements now that Id like to meet and was looking for some guidance or advice.

Preamp vs A/d Converter

Right now I'm running an sm57 through a PreSonus Firestudio project into Cakewalk sonar, to record guitar. My question is..would a preamp such as an Avalon make a huge difference? someone told me it wouldnt make any difference at all unless i buy a high-enda/d converter..is this true?

and one more question. How do studios seem to get their stereo spectrum so much wider then mine?
