This is my setup so far..

I have:
P4 2.66 ghz, not sure about RAM,
Akai MPC2000XL MIDI Production Center
Alesis QS6.2 Synth
Midisport (USB) 2x2 (w/ 2 midi cables)
M-Audio DUO Mic Preamp (USB) w/ Shure 57 mic and cable
Sony-MDR600 Stereo Headphones (No amps or monitors, do I need some to record??)

what I want to do is record my music live to the computer then cut and edit my riffs down and loop them up in FruityLoops.. I have cubase for software, but with everything I have, I can't figure out how to record anything, I can only use my synth as an MIDI "controller".. What else should I get to record my music?? I was looking at this Edirol UA20 USB Audio/MIDI interface [http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--EDIUA20], but Im not sure if it will assist in recording my music live.. Any comments/suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks.
 
You're M-Audio Duo mic pre amp is also an interface for via USB for your computer. So with that you can record up to 2 tracks at a time in Cubase. So I dont' know much about Cubase but you have to hook up the DUO with USB cable to your computer and install the drivers. Then in Cubase you should be able to see the DUO and record. There might be a little more detail to it but someone else I'm sure can help you with that.

The DUO doens't have MIDI on it so you would just need a MIDI Interface. Here are some from M-Audio but there are also a lot more out there.
