Have a look at my "el-cheapo howto", that presents a way to get into multitrack recording very cheaply. http://www.djcj.org/LAU/quicktoots/toots/el-cheapo/ I am using this to record my drumkit with Ardour with 6 simultaneous channels. El-cheapo should give you a good and affordable start, and it will give you flexibility to postpone the investement on the multitrack soundcard until later. br, Timo Timo
