I am new here so please be gentle as my question(s)/explanations may seem silly ;o)

I'll be honest, I'm not particularly well-versed when it comes to this stuff so even though I'm going to try and be as specific as possible, I'm sure I'll probably leave out a ton of necessary info. Here's my problem...

That's the way it sounds to me.. can I get a confirmation?
(btw do you think they do a real double tracking or a delay tracking thing?)

After youve recorded vocal tracks with proper microphone placement/technique and gain adjustments/levels, what should I apply first? I usually stick with EQ with high pass/low cut filter, compression, and a few delays n chorus here n there track by track.

Guys please advise i just bought a Korg d1600 mk ii digital mixer and was wondering do i mix my tracks on the mixer without a pc or would you recommend i connect it to the pc and mix the tracks on a pc based software instead. if i have to connect it to the pc how do i link the pc based software to the mixer?

Before I get into details, heres the gear that I use:

Computer:
eMacines W2686
80GB Harddrive
512 MB DDR(?)
1.60 GHz, 992 MB RAM
Windows XP
AMD Athalon XP Processor

Is EQ something that should only be adjusted after recording vocals? I've read that compression can be applied before recording, but only if you know what you are doing since it can't be taken out. Is it the same deal with EQ?

I'm about to get started in recording songs but I need to know what equipment to get to get that 90's type of vocal sound.

I have 300$ to buy either a a mixer or mic preamp or whatever I should get to at least get me started. I plan to also buy a Stellar CM5. Something like Too Short - Way to real has that special delay and warm sound that I like.

why are my recording so low? I'm trying to record some vocals i can hear myself pretty clear during the recording through the headphones but when i play it back it sound really low... I'm recording in mono at 32 bit I'm using adobe audition 3.. can you give me some advise on how can i fix it? thanks...
I'm using a saffire 6 usb...

Hi! I roamed around the forum a bit, and I think it would be ok to ask for a help. So if there's a cooked answer already, just point me direction. But anyway.
