I have a few questions for you guys on the boards here. Im fairly new to Digital home recording. And did have ALOT to spend on gear.

i currently have Cakewalk Sonar 3 Studio Prodicer Edition
Fruity Loops 4 Studio Producer edition.

My questions are this.

Rythm Guitars Effects or no effects ?
Kick drum whats a good frequency to boost for a good tick ?
Snare & Guitars competing in the mix, whats a good snare frequency to boost?

Where in the spectrum should droped D tuned guitars sit.

What do you reccomend i do to get decent vocals with a shitty mic ?

What exactly is Mastering ?

Heres an Mp3 sample of what im getting so far, any help would be appreciated. http://dividian.servegame.com/never.mp3
