Recently purchased a new computer from inta audio, the computer did not come with a soundcard so i must buy one.

Anyone have any recommendations? Max price i can pay is £200.

Would prefer it to be external (USB 2) one as i am not expereicned with putting anything inside computers, but if it is easy to do then a internal one would also be alright.

need to upgrade myself is it worth spending that much on a sound card?

well the way i see it, i could buy a standard not too great one for £60. Then in a few months end up spending £170 anyway because that one aint cutting it no more.

Might aswel get yourself something that will last you a while.

Been lookin at reviews at that one and it seems pretty decent, anyone else got suggestions?

These are worth looking at too..

My mate has the Edirol FA66 which is also very nice. Only it doesn't run on bus power (it needs an AC adapter to work).

The Focusrite Saffire LE was my other choice. Almost went for this but decided on the Firebox because its physically much smaller, and I didn't really need the 6x inputs of the Saffire (Firebox only has 4x)

I have gone for http://www.inta-audio.com/pp/Soundcards ... undle.html

Gonna order it later.
Main bonus was that it comes with cubase studio 4. Its £334 so spending more than i wanted but i need to get cubase so it makes sense?

M-Audio Delta 1010 LT, works great and was cheap. eBay is your friend.
