Additional notes

This may seem like a strange collection of stuff, but it seems to work. It has for me. I get the sounds I want, and I would appreciate any advice to help me get better at recording. I am determined to allow the bands in my area the chance to make a good demo without spending an arm and a leg. I figure it will also help me with recording my songs.
