To Kyle Painter: Thank you for the response to my post! I have the i MAC5,1-MAC OSX version 10.4.11 Processor 2.16 GHz. My interface is the FIRESTUDIO 26x26 Firewire interface by Presonus. Bundled with it was Cubase LE 1 OEM Presonus. With the info you supplied I was able to make a rudimentary recording of "this is a test". Now if you would be so kind as to take me to the next step in live recording eg. vocal mic CAD GLX2200 into Mic 1 and guitar into instrument 2 on the FIRESTUDIO I would appreciate it. I,m also concerned about a buzz i,m getting through the KRK Rocket 6 speakers.
