http://www.monoprice.com/ Best website for cables and stuffz!
I got this bad boy right here!
http://www.monoprice.com/products/produ ... 1&format=2 It's USB 2.0, so if you need a 3.0, u gotta get something else, but I doubt most interfaces, and midi's run 3.0, most are 2.0, and 1.0 if that...
Here is a whole list!

Hey Sound Warrior,
I use a Focusrite Saffire Pro 14
http://uk.focusrite.com/firewire-audio- ... ire-pro-14
It has 8 inputs (2 of them have preamps), 6 outpus, and midi in/out. I have had it for a few years now, and it's never let me down.
I think the Saffire Pro 24

Might be more suited for you, because if you already need around 8-10 inputs, there is a good chance you will need that many more in just a few years. The 24 has 16 inputs, and 8 outputs, but other than that I think it's just the same as the 14.
@SMOR3S I don't think thats what he's looking for.

LOL Oops, I read it wrong... I thought he meant a straight, dedicated USB interface

I use a Presonus Fireproject, it's 8x8 with decent pre amps on all the channels and it can be daisy chained for even more channels. I believe they also have a USB version with the same specifications, the audiobox series.

My bad.
The Focusrite Scarlett 8i6, or the 18i6 could be a option then, they seem to be the usb version of the Saffire.

Never used one, but should be good if like other Focusrite products.
