Well, not much money, but...
I will shortly have enough $ saved up to buy something. Since a decent soundcard is first on my priority list, here I am. For now, I only record two tracks at a time max, but that could change some day. Maybe, maybe not. I have an audio buddy pre. Other equip I could hook up to the puter are Roland XP-50 keys, POD, compressor (3630
), and multi-effects unit (which I don’t really use anymore, but you never know).
I can have enough in another couple of weeks to get a new Delta 1010lt at $279 (I think someone posted a place with lower price, but I can’t remember who. I’ll have to search). Can someone talk me out of this with some other options?
For example:
What are the befefits of maybe getting a Delta 1010 or a C-Port dsp 2000 compared to the 1010lt. Maybe I can find one on of those on ebay for $400 or so (a little less if I’m lucky). And would you buy a soundcard on ebay? Speakers and such I wouldn't have a problem with, but I can envision problems with used sound cards.
Maybe I should even go as low as a used Delta 44 on ebay for $150 or less and have some cash saved for monitors (next on the priority list – either that or getting my elec. guitar fixed so it plays in tune
or a better vocal mic)
Or maybe an Omni Studio/Delta 66 combo if I can find it on ebay for $300 or so?
Or maybe just get a new Audiophile and upgrade later when I need more ins/outs?
Other options?
Like I said, currently I don’t record more than 2 tracks at a time, but I could see going to 3 easily enough as I get more mics just to catch a decent acoustic guitar & vocal performance. Who knows…maybe down the line (way down) when I get better at recording, I may start recording others. So I guess the last question is what can I use all those ins & outs on say a 1010 or 1010lt for when I’m just recording myself so I don’t feel like I spent more money than I needed too.
Sorry for the long post. I know there probably is no “right” answer, but I’m interested in your opinions.
Thanks in advance.

. You must be watching that pretty carefully.
