Alright, after doing some research into audio interfaces i've came up this.
Firstly, i'm just planning to record multiple guitars for now, but i'll definitely expand into adding vocals and synths/samples in the future, hence a need for a midi in and midi out capability along with mic I/Os.
So with this in mind the options I have would be the Lexicon Lambda, Tascam US122/144, Focusrite Saffire 6. OR M-audio fast track 2/fire wire Solo and Line6 UX1/2 (upgrading to a more comprehensive interface in the future). Reccomendations would be more than welcome as this list I have certainly does not encapsulate all there is out there. I also dont mind pricer alternatives as long as the added capabilities/price can be justified.
Software wise, i see myself making do with the default software/DAWs as I dont have the funds to purchase external DAWs. That said, I also see myself purchasing Reaper by Cockos in the future as it seems to offer a lot for just under 100 SGD.
About the Firewire/USB interfaces, i dont mind either as for what i'm doing i dont think it will make much of a difference right?
P.S: I'm running an ASUS F8sn with Windows Vista Home premium 32bit/4GB RAM.
I'd greatly appreciate any advice out there.
