I'm planning on putting together a home studio. I was hoping to get some advice from you guys on what/how to put it together, since my recording knowledge is pretty spotty . . .
I'm starting with a Pentium 4 1.7, a SoundBlaster Audigy Platinum, Sonar 2.0 XL, a couple Shure 58s and 57s, and the instruments (Yamaha S80, Taylor guitar, Carvin Bass w/ SWR Workingman's 15 amp)
Thus far I'd like to get Mackie HR824s for monitors, upgrade the sound card to a mAudio Delta 10/10, buy some mics . . .
What I’m hoping to get from you guys is some advice on what I might need that I have no clue about (i.e. preamp(s)?), and what I might like, from hardware to software (a selection of mics? The best mixer? a way to get some legit drum sounds? headphones?). I'm on a budget, but I'd love to know what the best of the best is and work my way down from there. In a lot of ways I’m starting from scratch, so I’d love to benefit from your experience.
Thanks for helping out a newbie guys. I really appreciate it!

p.s. -- I plan on recording mainly rock stuff -- think Train, Counting Crows, stuff like that. I also want to do some more electronic type stuff, though (My roommate made me promise him some techno in the next year or so . . . :-) Thanks again.
