Recommend me some great sounding USB soundcards. I currently have EMU 0202 which sounds great but I'm planning to buy condenser mic and it needs phantom power.

... Or if you want an interface thats actually reliable and useable, get something made by Focusrite (Saffire Pro 14 or 24), RME (Babyface), or Motu (Ultralite Mk3). As long as it has stable and useable converters & preamps. These examples all provide 48v phantom power.

also you can get standalone phantom power supplies, plus most preamps worth a damn have it built in
and mbox mini -w- anyone wanna buy my mbox2 since it's redundant for pro tools now?

E-MU 0404? The preamps on there are the same as creative use on their more expensive kit, and they are sweet sounding!

they are acceptable, but saying they are "sweet sounding" is a stretch....

basically, I have the 1616M with the "nice AD/DA converters" and trust me, the focusrite pre's blow them out of the water

get yourself something like a focusrite saffire pro 14

love my trusty m audio Ozone. keyboard, soundcard, xlr(phantom powered) & jack input & outs, 8 knobs, headphone monitor. pretty damn mean when ya consider the price!

only thing i would like... is more keys!

Im after a focusrite saffire though, the saffire 40 would suit my needs... then theres the liquid saffires.
I need atleast 8 ins & outs so I can get everything running through my analogue desk...
