First soundcard

[Idgeit]

Hey, Im working up a little studio, and i decided to put a bit of money into it, good mics ect, but i need advice on a soundcard.

I want something pretty good that'll get me started.
around €250, but i wouldnt mind pushing it up if i had to,

thanks

Well, there are a few decent ones on the market, but first you're going to have to tell us how many inputs you're going to need.

Im pretty new to this, so whats the average amount
of inputs?, And say i have 4 inputs, will the card
let me record them all at one, but mix them separate?

ya that's the beauty of multiple imputs, if you had say 8 imputs on your soundcard, you could record each drum of a drum kit to a separate track in your computer and edit each one individually. Unless you want to record a drum kit or you have several performers to record at once, you may want to go with fewer imputs to save you some cake. One option may be to get a soundcard that has like 2 imputs and then an ADAT imput so if you needed more inputs later, you could expand. Something like an Emu 1212m would work well. I like the suggestion of the lynxone as well, don't know how many inputs it has though
