Thx Kenny,
What you said will prove really helpful here real soon. since I am recording at home on my computer, I am trying to get the best sound possible. I know my setup has limitations, but I'd like to be able to travel at the threshold of those limitations. I have had friends that have recorded the tracks at home, then sent them out for mastering. I don't think getting studio quality mastering on a simple set up is possible, but I'm shooting for something in the mid level. Thx so much for the information!! Dae
