Audio Midi Interface

[RanThrive]

I am looking for some suggestions from those of you that may have experienced what i'm looking for.

I'm currently using m-audio usb interface and think I would like to go firewire or onboard and also have to ablility for midi I/O. My concern is finding one that is compatible with win7 and not over $300. I have researched a few but they wern't compatible.

Firebox. Can't beat it for the price, and I guess it works with Windows 7

firebox is good unless u have a laptop that does not have firewire built in. express cards do not work with it ... check their tech support forums for more details on it.

I say avoid FW unless you need 6+ channels etc.

Sweet, i'm looking into right now. I just think m-audio doesn't make that great of an interface, I get a little feedback when I have any program oriented to music running. Think its USB, I've tested my sound card, latency setting, and so on.

Just got rid of the m-audio usb interface for the pre-sonus firewire. I think this was a better option all around hopefully.
