Laptop Recording.

I purchased a M-audio 66 w/ breakout box (its for sale by the way). But, I just got really aggrivated trying to get it to work right with my desktop and Adobe Audition.

Now, I have a laptop and I would like to make recording portable so I can record anywhere I go and not be limited to my own house. I need something thats going to give me just as good sound as my 66 did (when it worked.) I need something thats pretty much plug N play.. without alot of configuring to make it work.

So, I am looking at USB and Firewire Audio Interfaces.

I already have in my possession.

Laptop capable of recording + 160 hd for audio
MXL 990 condensor
Yamaha MG 10/2 mixer

My choices for interfaces are:

Presonus Inspire 1394
Lexicon Lambda
Tascam US-122
M-audio Fast Track and Fast Track Pro
Lexicon Alpha


pro's and con's?

I'm going to be recording pop/rock.. with the occasional band demo (drum's premixed or done in Fruity Loops). Everything tracked 1 at a time.

what is your budget?

no more than what the Delta 66 would have cost. the ones I listed are the main ones in my price range.
