E-MU 0404 Digital Audio Recording System

[gwayms]

I am think of buying one of these. Cna someone give me information on it.
Right now I am just plugging everything into my stock soundcard using adapters fro 1/4 to 1/8. I am using Acid recording program and that is basically it. I usually record guitar, drums (from my keyboard), and vocals straight into the sound card.
Can someone tell me if this will work with Acid or if I even need Acid after buying this. And if so how much will it improve the recording from what I am doing now? I appreciate any info on this. Thanks

I'm considering buying this card as well, so I will just add a question (hope that's allright in a threat):

Are all those 1/4" jacks mono? In other words: Would be necessary to use an adapter to connect a stereo source?

If yes, I suppose it means that there is 2 analogue mono in and 2 out = 1 analogue stereo in and 1 out - or am I wrong?

Cheers.
