Unless you're engineering it yourself, in which case, you could follow any of the advice here, along with hundreds of other possible setups that would work. Read up on how your favorite bands were recorded, and start there. I think there were a couple of threads here recently on how Metallica recorded their drums, try searching!
Good luck in the studio, let us know how it turns out! 
P.S. This makes no sense, by the way...outboard effects will have no strain on the CPU, where software effects will. You will also get latency with most software effects, you will get virtually none with outboard. I'd suggest using as much outboard gear as possible as long as it is good for tracking, mixing, and mastering (although I would also suggest handing it off to a mixing engineer and then to a mastering engineer if your budget permits.) |
The engineer is a frind of mine that I met whilst doing my recording course, thus we know as much as each other, which is very limited because we didn't get too much time in full scale studo to experiment.
Also what I mean't by no out board effects is just that. It's a very simple system as I've described that has no outboard effects and only a few VST effects.
thanks for all the suggestions and keep 'em coming.
