Hey, great link, Bob! Thanks.

The mic that McGuinn uses is quite a bit pricier than the ones I got. I got the Marshall Electronics Pro Pack Plus for $250. It includes a large diaphragm voice mic, a smaller diaphragm mic particularly good for "quick attack" instruments such as an acoustic guitar, plus shock-mounts for both mics, a pair of 15' cables with XLR connectors, and a tidy little padded case to stow all this in. I know a couple of people who have this set, and they like them real fine.

The hard drive on my computer is too slow (5400 rpm) for the Lexicon Omega interface, so I got an external (USB) hard drive—7200 rpm. Half a terabyte. That oughta do it!

Gotta get my studio set up. I'm champing at the bit to get at it.

P. S. I think the gear will sound great. It's how I'm gonna sound that's got me concerned!
