I'm going to be running 32 bit XP. Much less OS overhead than Vista and few if any issues with DAW's.

Looked at the UAD 2 stuff, looks great, if I need it, I know what to do now. Thanks for that!

Yeah, the Mackie VLZ preamps are okay but from what I understand from a 2 studio engineers I've talked with is that the 4 preamps in the RME Fireface 800 are killer. Not sure I know why I need discrete mic pre-amps yet.

As far as I know, I won't be recording drums here. It will be primarily be electric guitar and bass, a variety of acoustic instruments and vocals. Keyboards and drums will be done elsewhere with the file sharing.

I'm thinking maybe some more and "better" mics.

Still open minded and learning.... appreciate all the contributions so far.
