I have been in a band and playing instruments since I was a wee whippersnapper and was wondering if anyone could suggest a decent soundcard which I could use to record guitars, drums vocals etc with. I am not very teched up on the music side of the pc industry so any suggestions or pointers will be most appreciated.
It will just mainly be me recording so it only needs to really be able to record 2 inputs at a time. I have all the software sorted (Cubase.Cakewalk/Audacity) and i want a better sound than using my motherboards mic socket!!!! I am not interested in anything over £200 unless it is really worth spending this much. The closer to £0 the better![]()

A decent channel strip (mic pre-amp) adds to the richness of the sound on the way in and can help reduce noise/hiss etc on the tracks before effects are added which will give you more scope to work with, you can work with the pc alone but if you go for a full live band sound you'll need Help at the front end - drums for example you might want a noise gate to clip the fade out for a more punchy sound ? If you want to cut it back to just two channels then theres a lot of choice, digi-designs M-box (pro tools industry standard), Mackie spike (cubase) to name a couple all have good pre-amps built in and will sound good out of the box but you only have two channels !!
