If you are going the protools route, you should already know what you are doing. If you don't know what you are doing, I wouldn't go the protools route.
I would also never EVER buy an m-audio interface (again).

I personally wouldn't buy (and learn, no small thing) a daw and interface just to record a guitar. If I was doing serious multitrack recording, yeah, I'd definitely be checking out pt9. I think we're on different pages, so disregard my advice.
