I'm a working dad so my progression of buying music stuff has been over a span of 10 years amounting to not very much. I built a computer with an AMD processor 2.4 and a gig of ram. I'm using Cubasis VST 4.0 and on friday I purchased a M-audio Fast track
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_u...kUSB-main.html. This little box is awesome for a guy like me that just want's to have better than crap quality recordings. I found many reviews slamming it and I did have to play with it for a while and running my amp through it is the only way to get a proper volume...(Roland Cube 30). If you want a nice soundcard in a box that is easy to use and fairly cheap $120 then this is the way to go...
