How to record music? newbie question

I’m very new to the music recording scene. My 10 year old son started playing guitar almost 2 years and has branched out playing drums, bass and keyboard. He now has gotten bitten by the recording bug where he discovered his usb mic supplied with Rock Band can be used to record his instruments into his laptop using sound recorder. He then multi tracks in Adobe Audition.

Newbie help with home studio

I'd like to buy some gear for a personal recording studio and I need help. My budget is $2000. I have a Korg Triton, and a MacBook Pro. I plan to buy Reasons and Nuendo because I'm a little familiar with them. I'm interested in production and recording vocals at home. I'm new to this as I have been using only my Korg to make music, but I'm trying to expand.

Help for a Newbie?

I've been composing using Reason for a while, but I'm about to make the jump to home recording. Unfortunately, I know far less than the bare minimum. So if I tell you vaguely what I'm planning to do, could someone with more experience (ie: any of the fine members here) tell me if I'm on the right track?

Ok, here's some basic digital rec, newbie questions.

I've been playing in bands for many years. I'm a guitar player. I have an M-Box 2 which came with Pro Tools 7.4 and a copy of BFD Lite. I have a MIDI interface via a Creative Labs Extigy. I also have a Yamaha DD-50 hooked up to the Extigy and it works in Pro Tools with BFD. I've never done any sort of digital recording, or anything where I need to come up with the drums myself.
