Alright, lets see what I have... Am I missing something critical other than more preamps, acoustic guitar, headphone amp(s), live room, patchbay, XLR-snake, mic stands, cable tester, XLR-cables and plenty of acoustic treatment?

- Recording Interface + DAW: RME Multiface + Cubase
- Preamps: SPL mono channelstrip + SM Pro Audio 8ch preamp (cheapo)
- Monitors: Genelec 8030 (+ subwoofer), hifi stereo system as reference and two pairs of headphones (Sennheiser HD25 (closed) and some Philips cheapos (open))
- Instruments: Drums, 3 snares and a few cymbals (the drums suck really bad tho, except for the Ludwig snare), 3 guitars, 1 bass, 1 midi keyboard, 1 tambourine, 1 djembe
- Mics: enough mics to mic up the whole band at once (1x NT2A, 2x NT5, 5x SM57, 3x e604, 1x e901, 1x opus 69, 1x opus 89) and triggers (2x bd, 1x snare, 3x toms)
- DI & Reamp boxes: 4 DI boxes (2 radial, 1 behringer, 1 bass sansamp), 1 reamp box (radial)
- Amps: 2 guitar amps (or actually 3 if microcube counts), 1 guitar cabinet, 1 bass combo (orange) + pod farm
- Pedals: ibanez ts9, big muff, boss odb3, boss ns2, boss dd6, boss tu2
- Rack stuff: tc D2 tapdelay, tc m350 multifx, dbx 166XL compressor, behringer racktuner (and behringer T1952 compressor that has been disconnected since 2007)
- Racks: table with plenty of rackspace + 2 portable racks
- CPU: a recording computer (that needs to be upgraded) + external hard drives
- Stands: 2 mic stands (1 short, 1 long)
- Random stuff: 1 pack of Moon gel, 1 snare damper, 1 capo, small Behringer mixer, guitar stands for 4 guitars and some misc cables
 
noob question, is there any difference in recording DI through a interface of a DI box?
