Hey there,
I've been using the M-Audio Fast Track (Amazon link) for quite a while now and so I wanted to make a step forward and replace it with a more efficient model. I could probably be able to spend up to 300 bucks but that's just speculation since where I live things are way more expensive when imported and neither I have access to digital shops like Amazon for a number of reasons. Anyway, my main concern is the sound quality and not the multiplicity of ports, because I'm alright with one guitar/mic port. The sound quality, especially when it comes to recording bass guitar is average and at times the Fast Track struggles even in keeping the sound tidy, which means clean guitar recording is a bit of a mixed bag, though the distorted guitars sound just fine (and not spectacular). So, any suggestions?
P.S. I use Cubase (5.1.0), and for the most part record the guitars/bass directly thru the soundcard and use the mic (Rode M1-S) for recording vocals and acoustic instruments.
