usb is fine for the midi connection on your uc33Originally Posted by Miromiric
but you don't want to use your internal soundcard for audio out
have you got a pcmcia slot? echo indigo would be best if so
otherwise the m-audio usb stuff mentioned will do you fine. or almost any reputable usb soundcard
if you end up with usb audio and usb for connecting the midi controller, make sure you have 2 separate usb ports.. you don't want them on the same bus
firewire audio is of course going to be more reliable than usb. but usb is normally just fine if all you want is a stereo out
