im getting a new bedrom setup, a Xone 92 as the main mixer and two xone K2's to control traktor loading and effects but im unsure if i need to get a sound card and if so what one and also how the cable routing will work?
want to be able to use all the channels on the mixer and the sound card to be under or around £200 if i need one
thank you for any recommendations
get a cheap audio8 of ebay
Audio 8 or Audio 10 sounds like a good option. You won't be able to use absolutely everything (not enough IO to use all 4 channels and route both sends back into the computer). The Rane SL4 is also an option (comparable to the Audio10), but it's more expensive.
It's actually kind of sad how limited the selection of good halfway-budget audio interfaces has gotten. It seems like everybody is either using a more intense recording interface, an all-in-one, or a mixer with a sound card built in.
What OS are you using?
Do you have firewire, or a spare PCMCIA port on your laptop?
'Cos I've got a MOTU Ultralite MK2 (beast of an interface) that would do you...

(not to take away your sale, @Patch, just an option if he doesn't have firewire)
Firewire cards for laptops are notoriously shit. I'd stay well clear of FW.Quote:

What makes you say that?
Maybe for cheap PCs.Quote:
