Fiery Furnace

I depends on where you're coming from. I replaced a Soundblaster Platinum with a Delta 1010LT and the difference was enormous. IMHO, the 1010 is a good sounding card, and is more than sufficient for any semi-pro recordings.

Excellent. These monitors really do sound so much better than any PC speakers. Kinda funny story - it states in the KRK manual that the monitors come preset from the factory on the +6db setting. Well, mine came set at -30db, and it's a damned good thing! The first time I plugged them in and played music through them, it was definitely more than loud... if they'd been dialed up all the way to +6, they probably would have blown, or blown my ear drums!

I like my monitors - KRK rockit 5's - a lot. I also like listening to a lot of music. Is there any reason to think this is bad for monitors? I mean, they're designed to play raw music.

You didn't mention what you were using for monitors...? I hear some digital/mp3 distortion, of course, but the mix sounds good to me... guitar and bass equal, drums are loud, vocals aren't too high. The kick drum could come down just a tiny bit, but other than that... it sounds ok to me. Great guitar tone.
