Audio and Midi in one box? M-Audio, vs. Aardvark vs SB?
I want to get started using my PC to record my guitar and control my Korg synth. I'm not looking for anything pro level, just want to keep the budget down and keep the connections as simple as possible. If I get more serious, then I'd be more willing to make a more serious investment.
Im looking for that All-In-One box that has 2-3 inputs for an elec/acoustic guitar, vocals, As Well As MIDI. Want to be able to record a guitar and vocals, and control the midi stuff, and it seems like there's finally some products that can do it.
It seems that most "music" people are really anti-Soundblaster
products, and can understand that. But if I want to just mess around with some friends and some different instruments, do I need anything more than an Audigy 2 Platinum EX? Seems that it has everything I'd need --analog ins, digital ins, midi control.

I'm also familiar with, but can't find any users of the Aardvark
Direct Pro LX6

Last week at Sam Ash, I was shown the M-Audio Firewire 410, which alsohad the midi and analog ins and outs I was looking for.

I'm just looking for advice, other products, or a reason to go one way
or the other.
Thanks
