I'm a keyboard player that is looking at getting into digital recording. My main hangup now is on what soundcard to get. I've been tossed up between three. I'll list them in order of current preference. Delta 66 w/ Omni I/O interface. Aark24/96. Layla24. Quality-wise, I've heard good things about all three. I'm leaning towards the Delta right now because it appears to have the most flexibility when using the Omni I/O interface. I'm planning on getting a USB MIDI port as well. At the current time, I'm going to bypass getting a mixer. Most of my recording will be a mixture of MIDI and audio recording. I will probably not need more than four inputs at once for now. When I need more, I can get a mixer. I'm also planning on using Cakewalk Pro Suite and Gigasampler ($150 upgrade from old PA6), so that rules out MOTU and Lexicon Core since they, as far as I've heard, won't work with Gigasampler. I'm primarily curious to get input on the above three soundcards, especially those that have used them with Cakewalk. I'd appreciate any input. I hope to buy one of them before month's end. Thanks for your help.
