knowing what i know now i am really glad I bought the PreSonus audiobox. The VSL is really cool. Reverb, Delay, Compression, Limiting, Noise Gate, filter, and EQ all under the Fat channel on each input, and on the main out. at very ultra low latency. I used all that on my StreetJelly show the other day, and i was really happy with the comments, but also super happy with what i had in the phones.

Add to that Free Studio one artist, and that is a great deal. The artist version of Studio one is prices at $99. The only limitation is that is does not allow third party plug ins, but the one that come bundled are really good. and for $99 you can upgrade to Producer. (i got black friday upgrade for $49) The comping, and ARA is worth the price of admission. If you have Melodyne it is seamless in Studio one.
