need help on a soundcard

[Azza666]

hi all,

basically i'm looking for a new soundcard

im using a PC with reaper, and i do my guitars/vocals with a pod studio ux2, and i also use a midi keyboard through the USB connection

ideally what im after would be a soundcard that lets me run both the analogue outputs from the pod studio into the soundcard, and also run the keyboard midi output into the soundcard and then run that to my speakers

currently i just run the ux2 to my speakers and use it as my soundcard, but then i cant do my keyboard at the same time.... also the keyboard has a slight latency issue which is annoying and i figured running it directly into the midi of a soundcard would be more efficient?

any help or advice anyone could give would be much appreciated as i dont really know a lot and am just trying to find out whats available!!

btw, money is a little tight as always seems to be the case lol

thanks guys
