I was thinking USB, but am open to suggestions. I currently use a
Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS. I have a 12-channel Mackie mixer that I plug
the instruments into 1st, then out into the sound card. I don't mind
spending some cash if necessary. I was looking at the Line 6 UX8, and
it looks pretty nice for recording and getting guitar sounds, but I
need more than 8 inputs. I like to jam with my buds on Saturday night
and we run a Roland TD-7 drum kit (I know...It's old) , 2 Pods (in
stereo), 3 mics, bass, and I have an Alesis SR-16 for when the drummer
gets tired. :-) So the tracks fill up fast! I like the convenience of
just reaching for a fader on a mixer especially when jamming, but it
would be cool to be able to record more than 8 channels on seperate
tracks in Sonar. Maybe there's a way to have the best of both worlds
and have hands-on operation, with recording flexibility? There are so
many options, I would like to make an informed choice. Thanks for all
your help.

Cheers,

John
