Need Advice on setting up a home studio and equipment for it

Hi there,

I am session musician looking to record and produce my own side-project, a full 5 piece heavy rock-band comprising drummer, rhythm guitarist, lead guitarist, bassist and singer.

We've got two fairly big rooms to play with, but we need some assistance choosing the gear, setting it all up and getting to grips with it all.

Here are a few details for you.

Upgrading my home recording equipment, Tips for keeping it cheap?

As i'm sure has been brought up here the basic Macbook which i currently use no longer has a firewire input. This is a problem i haven't had a problem with as an LE w/MBox home recording system. But now that i'm looking for work a higher level of professionalism is required in my home mixing and recording.
