<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 5.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'"><FONT size=2>I use the MBox2 from DigiDesign along with their Pro tools LE recording software. I'm not sure if there is any Linux support (Win / Mac from what I know) out there for the hardware / software but I highly recommend it from audio recording perspective and so would a lot of the musicians I know. There is however another snag, the MBox2 Factory with ProTools LE stung me about £400 when i bought it a year or so ago. Still I would recommend checking DigiDesign out, v good kit / software and I think there’s a new Mini Mbox out now which may be going for a bit cheaper!</FONT></SPAN></P>

<DIV></DIV><BR>Hey folks, I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a cheapish(sub £150) USB or Firewire audio interface(or soundcard) that has reliable linux support. I'm lpanning to start recording some of the stuff I play in a band with my laptop however it only has its little headphone/mic sockets and I realised I need some othr I/O interface for putting lines/mic's/guitars through so I can record them.
<DIV></DIV><BR><BR>My problem is: which one will work relatively easily? I've yet to seek any advice from the likes of soundcontrol/rainbow but I don't know if they'd know about linux support anyways. Google is proving rather difficult on this issue(which is un-nerving) and i can't find a definitive list of devices that work reliably.
<DIV></DIV><BR><BR>So, does anyone else do sound recording on a laptop with an external interface? Please tell me your secret =)<BR><BR>Thanks and goodnight<BR>
