Hello, I'm looking at (for now) utilizing the SB 128PCI's I have laying around and doing 3 of those for input and 1 SB Live Value for midi and output. Any recommendations against that, or thoughts that an SB 16 PCI would be better? I have access to a few of those as well. As I said in my posts awhile back, I have 2 instrument mics, 1 vocal mic, and a keyboard with midi. The mics are all XLR with 1/4" (transformers?). Will I be needing any preamps/mixer for these? If so any recommendations for something with 3 mic preamps? I apoligize for all the questions. I'm quite new to the audio world and have only ever had real user experience with Soundforge on a win98 box :) I'm looking forward to some hardcore stuff once I learn. Thanks! Bryan
