there is one thing you might consider, depending on you're music
what you need from drums, ect...
if you can get by w/ simple basic stuff and are willing to do some cut and paste you might consider prerecorded sample loops
spectrasonics comes to mind
300.00 gets lots of well recorded stuff to work with
there are others
check the cubase forum
keep this secret, don't let any of these studio guys know i told you this
by the way, i would have to agree w/ going to a studio if you want to record
i started w/ a omni studio/ delta 66 and got pretty good at it, but......
the product lacked
i think mainly because of the converters
i would advise against dfegad digi 001, mainly cuz the converters more or less suck even worse than the deltas
(i own protools hd, a different beast altogether)
the omni isn't bad and it does have 2 pretty good preamps,
it will also record at 96k which sounds better given the quality of the conversion
but there is a lot more to recording stuff than that - mics, room, ect. you would be hard pressed to get a good quality drum sound given your budget
samples loops can and do work for a lot of music
especially if you mix accordingly
