I need help finding the best recording interface
I've got a 12 channel mixer and the following pc specs..
win xp 64 pro
cakewalk sonar 4
4gb ram
about 6+ usb2 ports, 4 firewire ports, an extra cat 5 cable port
3gb sata drives on a 3gb interface
AMD 64 3000/1.8GHz cpu
I built this rig to do two things, play games and record music. what i'd like to do is record into sonar via left/right channel 1/4" cables, phonos, or xlr. Everything from mics to instruments go through the mixer so i only need two inputs. I'd also like to record both channels while playing sonar tracks on the same computer so can layer new tracks on top of recorded ones live.. haven't gotten that far into the cakewalk manuals but i'm guessing this is possible.
What i'm missing is the recording interface.. firewire, usb, pci, xlr, 1/4", phono, what's the fastest or best quality recording interface i can get that works in sonar for under $500? i'd like to aim for something around $200-$250.
Thanks for any advice
