Pleaseee recommend me a good interface.

Last year I ended up buying a Line 6 - UX1 interface. I like it, and it works well- however it's one channel. I record bass lessons, etc. on YouTube and it's aggravating to have to switch back and forth between the mic and the bass. Could anybody recommend me a good quality Interface under $250?

I'm also building a computer in the near future, so all you computer guru's - is there a certain sound card that I could install that has a plug in directly on the board?
 
Line 6 UX2 with Pod Farm. Pod Farm works better than you'd think for the price.

Or Sweetwater has a deal going PreSonus Audio Box Studio | Sweetwater.com

For around the $250 price they are all about the same.

Most MotherBoard audio today is full DVD quality. You just need an adapter for 1/4" to 1/8" stereo. Pick up Asio4All and it will work fine with all DAW software.

I'm not sure what PCI interfaces are available anymore. They seem to be rare lately.

Wow! That sweetwater looks pretty tempting.

About purchasing the adapter.. if I were to buy the 1/4 to 1/8 adapter, I could just plug right in to my sound card? (with the right software.) & Also what is Asio4all?
