Bob's suggestion of Sweetwater is a very good one. They are an excellent company, and they have perhaps the most knowledgeable and experienced sales staff of any of the large retailers of pro and pro-sumer audio equipment. I get most of my stuff from them.

Bob also mentions a discussion about terminology, and while I remember that thread, I did not think we had all decided to abandon the term 'soundcard'. I have no problem continuing to use it, as long as there are sufficient facts to determine the context of the discussion. That's the key in most situations: we need to know exactly what you already have, and what you intend to do.
