I currently own a pc and have recorded simple guitars on it before. I am planning on switching
to mac's and buying a 12" powerbook. I just want to be able to record guitars, vocals, drums,
keyboard and possibly a drum machine. I was also planning on buying an m-box, which comes
with pro tools le. My first question is, will this setup work for me? My second question is can
I use a line 6 pod with this? Thanx.

I use an Mbox and ibook600 for 2 I/O audio recording. (see my post in "Making Music" also in the Getting Started Forum)

If you are going to use a drum machine, the rythmn will be absolutely perfect so, unless you want a big hassle, your natural (more interesting) drumming would have to be recorded after, while listening to the drum-machine recording in half a headphone. You can record real drums using a stereo mic set-up. You get the live sound and it depends on the place record in. You're "artificial" drums can be used to improve the sound spectrum.

That way you only have to buy 2 good mics. Have a look at the DPA 4060 series of miniature omnis. Some are particularly good at taking sudden very loud sounds.

Without shit, we wouldn't be here ;)
