I do appreciate the tip. Yeah, if I was a Digidesign guy, I'd probably go for it (although no one raves about the A/D, and besides it only has 2 channels). But, alas, I have made it a point to avoid all things ProFools...errr...ProTools.

Thanks anyway.
Uh, you aren't in much of a position to slag pro tools. There are MANY reasons to, but it's not as if there are all these other DAW software packages that are so friggin perfect. Having owned logic, cubase, and cakewalk, I can affirm that the digi le packages are really every bit as good if not better. And the le converters are really better than the 888's which many a hit record has been made off of. Not a limitation, IMO.

Cubase sx is what, around $500~400? Same with logic and cakewalk. Now get a sound card and where does that put you at? Do some math.

But, I would say that the one really great deal out there on the cheap right now, software wise, is the Acid Pro 4 bundle. You might really want to consider that for a home type setup. Very versatile software. That and a m-audio card of choice would be a pretty good budget setup. Then get yourself a couple crown soundgrabber pzm's, a couple sm 57's, and a couple windscreens.
