Well to be honest, I feel like an idiot now... I can mixdown in 24/96 no problem, I just tested it out (yes I know, I should have done that first)... I had figured the soundcard needed to be 24/96 for this to be possible (since I had never done it with anything other than one before) but good ol Cubase does it all internally... it's just for recording that a good soundcard is needed I guess. And since I plan on recording vocals and still need to hook up my monitors, I guess now I need the following:
Can anyone recommend the best bang for my buck as far as quality, specs (24bit/96-192khz, pre amp, freq range, noiseless, SNR, etc), and for what I need (1 MIDI I/O is fine, 1 line in, 1 XLR mic w/ phantom power, 2 balanced 1/4" outs) in a USB or 4-pin firewire audio interface??
I also want to be able to switch from ASIO to WDM drivers freely to be able to play mp3's for reference using the interface as my main sound device (which will most likely take over for my integrated soundcard) and I've read that some interfaces won't allow you to do that. So the cheaper I can find one, the better!
Any suggestions would be great
