Do I have Professional Audio Recording Equipment?

I produce music in many different ways (analog and digital) and here is what I have: I have a computer with a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum Pro. I bought this in 2003. I have a Mixer, connecting 2 Mics and Extra Home Audio Equipment (like Receiver, VCR and CD Player). The Audio Out from the mixer goes into the Line 3 of my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 sound card. I have Windows XP Professional. I use my computer in a Domain. Also, Professional sounds more like a professional audio workstation. Now, is this almost a borderline professional studio I have or should I upgrade? Should I get a different recording gear to connect to my computer or is my sound card good enough for professional recording?

No you do not have professional gear: http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4063

xspace, what would I need? Could I just mix audio tracks to make a professional song? Must I have professional gear to make professional music? What would I need to have? Simply, what do I need to buy to complete a studio?

We here at johnlsayers.com suggest that you "get a room"! Gear is not on our list of things to do ;) edit: We = Me, but it would not have read as well had it said, "I here at blah da blah blah blah..."

Well, I'm not sure why you're on a domain...but whatever. Anyway, no, you need to ditch the Soundblaster, they're designed for gaming, not professional audio. I'm also not quite sure why your VCR and other home entertainment equipment is hooked up, but that's neither here nor there. There's really nothing professional you've mentioned.

I feel like I've just been punk'd! At least you made me smile today Thanks Nihal
