Thanks I'll look into it, though first impressions tell me at $150 I may as well start putting money into a USB interface with more XLR inputs.

I have an Alesis multimix 8 usb 2.0 fx which has 4 mic/line inputs and 4 line inputs. The mic/line inputs are great. I have amps and vocals mic'd through them, and I get good signal adjusting the gain and volume for each channel. The line level inputs (#5 - #8) appear to be almost useless...

Actually, just noticed no RCA outputs. Kinda liked that about my mixer as can run straight to a hi-fi amp.

Thank you both, this looks like a perfect suggestion. I use none of the FX or EQ on the mixer and so will not miss them in an audio interface. I mentioned the $500 - $600 budget thinking I may have to pony up that amount. At this price I am happy. Good call, thanks.
