That sounds like a good price. Give TOMS in Braamfontein a call to compare (they are the SA agents). You must just download the correct drivers for your operating system from M-audio. Each operating system has it's own driver eg the driver for Win XP SP2 differs from Win XP SP3 - the Vista and and now WIN 7 drivers are also available.

By the way I have added a Behringer mini Headphone Amp to split and amplify the headphone signal - if you record a second person (vocals/harmonies). Its inexpensive, small and very handy
