setting up DAW based home recording studio, need advice!

--
Hello,

I am trying to set up a home studio and have some questions. Like many novices, I went into Guitar Center with a little bit of knowledge and made purchases based on their suggestions and my budget. Now, I am trying to figure out if I really have the equipment I need for my purposes and if I need to buy a new computer, etc.

Need Advice on which road to take.

So from a recent project I came to the conclusion that my recording front end is a bit weak gain wise. I am using the PreSonus FireBox which is a two channel device. This means that I either have to buy a two channel preamp with lots of gain to boost the signal before it hits the converter or save up for an upgrade converter. I could also build a preamp though, if it isn't terribly hard.

Hey,
Only just joined this forum and already found some of the threads very handy, but need a bit of extra advice on some mixing in Logic 8.

Have recorded all guitars with a close-mic'd SM57 (top right cone of Orange cab) and placed an SE2200A about 6ft away.
