Ok, I now have everything I need for my home studio. I have a Tascam US428 mixer, an Edirol PCR300 midi keyboard controller, a set of Behringer 2030P passive monitors, EZdrummer, Cubase SE, Traktion 2, Guitar Rig 2, Amplitube, and of course my computer, guitars, and bass. I am still in need of a power amp for the monitors. They are 100W and I dont really need anything expensive I would say. I just need something to power them. Can anyone tell me what I would need as far as the power amp is concerned?

Also, how would you suggest recording guitars and bass? Is it better to go straight through a program like guitar rig as a VST, or through my pedal board to the mixer to the computer? Or, (and this is what I would like to do) I have read that to make great guitar recordings at home you can take a table, flip it on its side and cover it with a blanket, then put the table in front of your amp (creating a sort of sound chamber), mike the amp, and record the guitars that way. What do you guys suggest? Oh, one more thing, is Ozone really that beneficial to non-professional recordings?
