Sup all...listen

I'm decided to venture into the PC route to work with my MPC's

I would like to know what sound cards are best. and cheap! if possible!?!

So far i am interested in the MOTU 828MkII and the M-AUDIO 410 FIREWIRE
Right now I'm feeling the MOTU looks easier to use than the M-AUDIO 410 FIREWIRE, is there any others out there that some can recommend?

That aint a fair comparison...Motu will kill the M-audio hands down

Emu 1820 Is more of a rival.....Or even the M-Audio 1814

Whas ur budget

you got to buy the software (not always) to which can be expensive. thats why the digi 002 is a definite option as it comes with PT.

I wanted the MOTU 828 mk2 with logic 7 express, but then found out you can't get logic on PC so now I thinking about digi 002
