I'm about to start to commence to prepare to begin to get ready to go about setting up a home system built around a Guillmot Maxi Studio sound card.

I could really use some pointers on how to set things up, and how to avoid getting stung by 'option paralysis'. You know, that "Where do I start?" stuff.

I intend to use a microphone eventually, but I'll be starting out going DI from my Peavey Rock Master preamp and/or a Yamaha DG Stomp.
