This Audio Interface-"Must be as much,or more expensive than your computer" is getting tiresome,

Bob

Whoever said that is absolutely wrong.  Look at Echo Audio, Roland and Presonus.  They make excellent interfaces with solid drivers.  Get USB for use on laptop and desktop.  I have an Echo Audo 8Pre and a Roland Quad Capture.  I play guitar and MIDI drums and latency is a non-issue.

Yep......... I can run pretty much all day at 128 samples on my laptop using this..............
 

 
and run my main system at 64 samples all day on this..................
 

 
 
 
Of course recording bands is slightly easier with the latter............

The ZED-R16 is a great piece of kit 18 in/out, great routing possibilties and MIDI control surface as well. Just be aware that the other ZEDs are stereo pair in and out only I believe.

I bought the Lexicon Alpha for an inexpensive link between main mixer and laptop while doing shows. 1 show would record nice and clear. A week later, without changing any settings, the show would record nothing but distortion. It's the cheapest thing that Guitar Center hawks to the unsuspecting public. Spend some money, the Fast Track Ultra is good and has come down in price over the years. I've had good luck with M-audio products. They were slow to introduce Windows Vista / 7 drivers. Otherwise their stuff is solid.
