Cascade Fat Head II initial report

So after our discussion of recording marimba and a few other financial events in my life I decided to purchase a pair of Cascade Fat Head Ribbon mics. It turned out that they were out of the original Fat Heads in gold so they offered me a deal on the Fat Head IIs. They came late Wednesday, and I got around to trying them today.

Legendary Albums

I'm curious about a few records whose production I both adore and admire, and since I'm kind of a n00b to this whole thing, I was hoping you all could shed some light on exactly what was done and used to make these records sound so spectacular. I'm talking equipment, compression, eq, verb, anything. I don't know how readily available this information is, so anything would be appreciated.

Recording from a bands Powered Mixer to a Computer Line-in

I'm trying to do a live off the floor recording by taking the Record Tape Out on a powered mixer and plugging the 2 stereo ouputs (a Y cable) into the Line-in jack on a USB line/mic device (basically an external sound 16bit/44Khz card). The PC is a fast WinXP box with 1Gb of Ram using Audacity or Soundforge.
