I am looking for something in between these in price range. $300 or > so. > Is there anything with MIDI, too? --- --- I use an M-Audio Delta 1010 at home: 8 inputs and outputs for 1/4" balanced TRS or unbalanced TS plugs, __and__ MIDI in/out. The digital-to-audio and audio-to-digital converters are in the rack-mounted breakout box, as well as all of the inputs and outputs except for the S/PDIF input/output which is on the PCI card. The Delta 1010 works well in the Linux environment, and I have used it with RoseGarden (for MIDI and digital audio), Audacity (digital audio) and Ardour (digital audio). It comes in two versions: * Delta 1010 (about $450 US at sweetwater.com): http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta1010-main.html * Delta 1010LT (about $230 US at sweetwater.com): http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta1010LT-main.html M-Audio Delta 1010 and 1010LT page at sweetwater.com: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/search.php?s=delta+1010&tt=1&go=Go%21 -Steve D, NM US -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Life does not need to be understood to be enjoyed.
