Thanks for the response, from my playing in a band days, i still have my guitar and amp, and also a peavey duel powered mixing board, I think it"s 10 or 12 channels. I used that to power our mains and our monitors, it"s got some big amps in it, didn"t think it would work in this situation. my computers good size, its a hp, 8gb memory, 750gb hard drive, tv tuner firewire port . Yes i want to multitrack, thats why i was worried about the soundcard, I thought it would go in as one signal to baib so then you could mix em in with the baib
