Will the guitar be recorded through a mic? Do you need to record two tracks simultaneously? What microphone(s) will you be using?
Guitar through a mic. plus vocals and sometime I record the guitar in stereo and add voice, harmonica, 2nd. guitar etc later. Behringer C4 matched pair for stereo, Shure SM 57 or single C4 for gutar, mainly Beyer M300 [personal choice] or single C4 for vocal and very occasionally, Highlander transducer and C4 for guitar for a particular slightly electric "biues sound" I like. I was thinking one of the lower end Steinberg interfaces would be suitable, Thanks a lot for your replys, Dave J

The Steinberg UR22 is getting a lot of compliments! The Xenyx won't be adding anything to your sound, so leave it for live mixing uses.
Thank for that, what about the Steinberg Ci 1 ? apart from the buget I like to keep things fairly simple, by the way the Xenyx was a mistake and eventually I,d like about eight tracks, Dave J.

Havent heard any comments about the Steinberg Ci 1, but I know its an older model. I'd spend the extra $50 for the UR22 myself (if I didnt' already have a Tascam US800).
