They don't need to be expensive, the one I've used (for the same purposes of recording mixes) is a Soundblaster X-Fi SB0270. I sourced mine in the states a couple of years ago (when the exchange rate was better!). It's not got bells and whistles and different DSPs, but for a portable sound I/O USB soundcard it's more than a bargain.
Thanks, that would make more sense!
Shame I cant get my desktop out to the garage as my Soundblaster has a breakout box on it.....or maybe I could sell the laptop and get a cheap desktop I can leave out there, then change the cards over (as I have onboard sound)
