The third point has put a damper on my soundcard/preamp/mic plans.
Initially I'll be happy to just record 1-2 channels at a time, but my
goal is to be able to do a decent job with a drum kit, possibly with
guitar or bass at the same time. I figure I can squeeze that in to eight
channels.
I'd have thought that dual Athlon 2400 is overkill for 8 channels and
some savings on CPU power would have bought you a mic preamp, but it
looks like it's too late now.
