Hi there,
Most of the bundled softwares are good to start with. Later on when you realize your needs you can buy something else.
As for the interface I would suggest
Lexicon Lambda Desktop Recording Studio

Red Box is not a classical DI. This thing has to be plugged not to preamp output a speaker sim (which is actually also possible with this device)
The thing about the tube amps is that overdriven power amplifier tubes (not only preamp tubes like in classical DI approach) contribute a lot to the...
Hi there I would enter one more possibility
use power soak to lower the volume keeping the amp cranked up
THD Hot Plate Attenuator
Than you can record with mic or using dedicated DI box between amp and speaker, like
Hughes and Kettner Red Box Classic DI

Hi there,
I think
M-Audio ProFire 610 Firewire Audio Interface
Is an optimum solution for your application. Preamps are very good. I don't think there are better preamps that can be found on audio interfaces.
It costs 400$ on ZZound.com
Just make sure you have normal firewire port on you...
5W amps can be overdriven in good extent without destroing a bedroom :D
Tech 21 is not a tube amp, it only tries to emulate it.
reverb stompbox can be a good solution.
HI there,
With this budget you have to choose either you want tube amp, or you want to have reverb.
If you are still into tube amp idea then check these deals out

Vox AC4TV Modern Classic Guitar Combo Amplifier

The thing with small FireWire port is that you will need external power supply to use pahntom power.
In general USB interfaces are less expancieve than FireWire ones with the same features.
If you aim for the M-audio you I would also recommend
M-Audio Fast Track Ultra USB because of the...
Hi there,
USB or FireWire has nothing to do with sound. There may be some issues with stability when you work with many channels simultaneusly on USB. But you have really to have a LOT of channles and some interfaces at the same moments.
In general USB interfaces are less expencieve than...

Hi there,
Thirst of all someting must be wrong wit your toneport settings. Try looking at buffer size in Line 6 drivers. Usually the larency is negligible with this one, at least I don't ave any latency problems.
