What interface would you recommend for a PC used to create music with a MIDI
Strat, microphone, etc.? I'd make one man recordings so I don't need many in/out
connections. I'd pay more if I had to, but is there something very good for 400+
dollars? I also play games on my PC--would it be good for that or should there be
a 2nd audio device for that?
I have
OS: Windows 7 64 bit (I'll probably upgrade to Windows 9 64 bit)
Case: NZXT Phantom 530
MOBO: Asus Sabertooth Z87
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770k
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-U12S with an extra Noctua NF-F12 PWM fan
PSU: Seasonic Platinum-860
Memory: Mushkin Enhanced Redline Ridgeback 2,133mhz 16GB
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB
Optical drive: LG WH14NS40 Internal Blu-ray Writer
(I plan to get a GPU and HDDs)
The audio device should have:
MIDI in/out for MIDI Strat, etc.
XLR 3 pin balanced inputs for microphone
Phantom power for mike
XLR 3 pin or 1/4" balanced outputs for inputs of Event TR5 speakers
Speaker inputs:

(Again, should I get a 2nd audio device for games?)
