What would be best budget soundcard with mic preamp / preamps? I used to have M-Audio Delta 1010LT and it has 2 mic preamps but don't know if those mic preamps were qood quality....
They'll work, but chances are that you'll want to have other preamps laying around as well. I don't think they'll really hamper a mix, but it's good to have options.
Other option would be soundcard with ADAT (E-MU 1212M?) and separate ADAT Interface with Mic Preamps.....like Behringer ADA8000 or something else...better quality ADAT Interface.
EDIT: I need simple setup to use with Radial DI Box: Radial -> XLR Input -> Soundcard.
