I look 4 a Soundcard recommendation with these specs:

min. 5 Stereo In's (parallel working/Use) min. 5 Stereo Out's

Interface: USB or Firewire

Full ASIO compatible, best if it has an IN/Out-Matrix/Router

even better if this has a DSP with effects etc. (I know - SM...)

Any tips very appreciated

all the GutairCenter sales reps I've talked to (& almost all have home-studios) say firewire is way faster & more stable than USB, esp w/all the ins/outs you want. For price/performance they like Presonus, but if you want to head to pro-tools, might want to look at a FW something from M-Audio.

All the RME stuff is very solid.

Thanks cAPSLOCK and infuzion!

I prefer M-Audio but will have a look 4 RME and Presonus now...!!!
