You can always remove it afterwards. There's a good free software drum machine called hammerhead which is good to use as a metronome.
Bezerker, your kit set up there is really good already! I know bands that have recorded things with less good equipment than that. When you get your full set up working, I'll imagine it'll nearly rival a proper studio. Instead of going for a multiple input soundcard, why not buy a mixer? Behringer make a cheap one I think which is meant to be great for home recording. Cubase is a good programme, but I choose personally to run a simple recording programme called Ntrack along with Soundforge for .wav editing, and as for inputs I tend to improvise. The track posted above was recorded by first running a d.i'd 10w practise amp to the pc for the guitars and the vocals. I think it sounds pretty good myself for what it is. My top tip would be to never run effects from a digital multi-pedal and instead either manipulate the tracks using software or use analogue seperate pedals. The sound quality is so much better.

Thanx for the tips Faile, I've been looking into those Behringer mixers they got pretty decent ones, but I need to read into the material first. I find the the website(forum) of soundonsound.com very usefull to learn a lot of stuff. Cubase can be a real pain to work with as I have heard, but I still need to find out so maybe Ntrack will be a nice alternative, thanx!
