my old pc no longer works for recording and when i got my new pc it didnt have a slot for my old maudio 1010lt card.

iv been looking around for a while. the Mackie blackjack looks ok but i keep finding horrer stories on the drivers. the focusrite saphire 6 looks ok as well.

I really only need it to track guitars and vocals. Midi is a plus but not necessary. Also Do i really NEED Firewire? i know its more consistent for audio data flow but im not tracking big multitrack files like drums. at the moment my computer has usb3.0 but no firewire port. Its 60$ish for a new firewire800 card on newegg..

also i should clarify. I have a Countryman t85 box so clipping wont be a bother.

Looking forward to your recommendations!
 
ended up with the onyx blackjack. took me a second to tweek the buffering so the latency was tolerable. now thats its all set in i can say this little guy kicks ass for the price (150$)!!

heres a test clip i made with it!
