Recording guitar/bass/vocals in my room

Hello all! I'm a guitarist and a songwriting, and have only been really recording my songs on my little tape recorder so I don't forget them. I'd like to set up a system where I could record my guitar/bass/vocal tracks digitally to my computer.

I'm pretty familiar with Audacity, so I'm planning on using that for my mastering software.

monitor noise.. room electrical problem?

Hi all. I just recently purchased a pair of Yamaha hs50m's which I'm using in conjunction with my Focusrite saffire firewire audio interface. To make a long story short I was getting some dreadful noise through the monitors. When I unplug the power supply from my laptop and run from battery power, the noise dissapears completely and my entire system is functional.

Vocals in a large room

I have 2 weeks access to my old schools band room and I cant decide whether or not to record the vocals in the center of the 4 level orchestra/band room or in one of the wooden instrument storage closets that have doors. I would like to use my MXL 960 Tube mic for some songs for the warmth in my voice and a 57 for the 'cold and narrow' sounding songs (thats the best way i can put it).
