Thanks ryszard and Mac: I see what you mean about a ton of advice, and I really appreciate it. Still haven’t got a chance to go through the tutorials posted here.

I googled PreSonus Audiobox USB. Looks promising. I suppose my laptop’s sound card is incredibly lacking for what I’m trying to demand of it. However, I’m working on a pretty tight budget for the moment and have to acquire all this gear a bit at a time.

Ryszard are you familiar with the TASCAM DR-05 I’m probably not allowed to post a link to their site, so I won’t. This is a hand held digital recorder with two mics. Guitar Center has them on sale right now for about $60USD.

The reason I ask is I know someone who has one, and the sound quality is very impressive for such an inexpensive device. Only I’m not sure it is compatible with BIAB or RB. However, I guess any device that exports wav files would work.

Would this be similar to the PreSonus?
