I think they are neat!!! >>

I have a Trident se-20 , Focusrite Twintrak, dbx-386 for pres. I dont run much stuff midi except for my Alesis dm-5, but i plan on getting a midi keyboard to work with reason and soundtank.>>

... and my bet is, for the hundreds extra you spent, your recordings don't sound that much better. Aside from that, kyledoes was kidding.
Everything else in order... phantom power is a 18-48v power source provided through balanced cabling to condenser microphones requiring it, and re-amping is only useful if you yourself are completely useless at determining what the right sound is, and getting it right the first time. Decca tree micing, also unnecessary to get a good sound. The AT 4050 is okay, but I'd recommend the CAD E200 instead... it's even a little more transparent. The mic preamps used were those provided within a Mackie CR-1604 board... not the best, but sufficient to get a good strong signal to the computer, and the rest can be done from there.
Lets all keep in mind 1) that one sample everyone is referring to has been downgraded from it's original quality, since MindSpace doesn't allow full-quality posts, and the other 2 weren't paying customers, and 2) for his price point (under $500). the paying customers' recording (the actual recording, not the digital-warbling, low-quality version on MySpace) came out better than other "professional" recordings I've heard costing over $1000.
Let's keep an open mind, and leave the grade-school insults for the hardcore kids talking about the latest show they went to.
