    Gear advice desperately needed

    I'm a bit of a newbie:-) (and a broke student). I desperately need some gear recommendations/tips for my planned BUDGET setup. I use it for HD recording, ACID, Cakewalk and so on. Here goes: - Is there any point in using a SB LIVE! card? If so, will I benefit at all from buying the Platinum...
