Yeah thats not a bad low end card. If I were you I'd try and save/steal a bit more money and get something around a ton fifty, simply because you might want more ins/outs in the future and then you'll have to upgrade. Perhaps one of these http://www.turnkey.co.uk/web/product...ND&context=WEB which comes with a load of bundled software so you can get started right away. You'll need some monitors too, perhaps some http://www.turnkey.co.uk/web/product...4P&context=WEB , there active too so you don't need an amp. You might want a controller keyboard, but you don't need it and you say you're on a budget so maybe not. You got a sequencer?Quote:

well a controller keyboard can be used to controll soft synths by pressing and turning buttons on a controller instead of using a mouse and pc keyboard, also using a keyboard means you can play notes live by jamming along, it's not something you need to be honest, but its something to get further down the line.
as for monitors, i wouldnt get the fostex pm04 as they only go down to about 60hz, not sure of the exact figure, but i'd save and get the fostex pm05's instead
thanks for your help peeps :)
