[Informations] - Choosing a new Professional DAW Machine (CME VX8 controller)

Hello, I'm going to buy a new PC (serious DAW usage) so that I can run as many VST/ plugins I can (EWQL Symphonic Orchestra, EWQL Symphonic Choir, GPO, VSL) without having glitches/fuzz/clicks/noise/etc (lowest latency possible).

Here are some info:

PC Usage:

hello

i currently have an ordinary Onboard audio interface with 6 channels (5.1).

i am planning to buy a m-audio fast track pro because this is what i can afford buying now learning.

but i have an doubt about the set of interfaces i should have.

Hello everyone. now this may be somewhat of a "taboo" topic...but I'm very curious an no one can seem to give me a figure. I was wondering how much, on average, a professional studio engineer makes a year. Any ballpark figures would be nice...I know it depends on may factors...but just humor me. Thanks. (if any actual professional engineers wouldn't mind sharing, that would be great)

Hey everyone, I was really wondering how studios get such a nice sound. I don't expect much from the $150 dollars worth of stuff that I use, but which is more important: The equipment or the knowledge needed for mastering?

The music I am recording is Heavy Metal. I have been preparing to record guitar tracks for my bands CD. I'm playing a Marshall stack through a AVT150 Head. The order or setup is:

Guitar-Pedals-StageworksEQ-MarshallHead-Alesis3630Compressor to SM57 "flat" towards the angle of the cone which goes into an ART DPS II Stereo Tube Preamp which than goes into a Yamaha AW1600.

Hello everyone. I am in the market for a CD player for my rack. I am currently using my computer to listen to CD's and it is not working out. Reason being because all the noise that my CD drive makes while playing back a CD is very distracting and is unacceptable (I use a Powerbook so the additional noise I’m hearing is essentially under my monitors).
