Which budget audio interface?

[tobias123]

looking for somthing that retails around £150 nothing too flashy. Needs to have midi for keyboard/controller, mic and be able to plug guitar etc. Some decent bundled software a bonus!

Any suggestions very greatly appreciated!

Whats wrong with your Lexi?

I have the really small 'alpha'. Its been good for me. It doesnt try and be a big interface, it accepts its small and gets on with it.

yeah my omega just doesn't seem to like my pc. Also I find the drivers completely useless. Does anyone have experience with the alesis?

I really Like the Echo audio Mia. Had it for years. The newer (not that new) version comes with a midi interface.

isn't the MIA a souncard? Looking for a USB or FireWire interface to be honest. Any other ideas?
