Hello,

I am currently working on my home studio. Let me list what I will be using.

- Powerbook G4, 1.5GHz, 1.5G RAM
- Remote SL25
- M-Audio Trigger Finger
- Hercules DJ controller MK1

- Two Technics 1200
- Gemini Preamp Mixer

- Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Theater 2200 (yes, I know)

So, currently I am using the Hercules as my soundcard. I am baffled by all the sound input modules available.

Here's what I want to do:

- Dj on the decks and be able to record into the Powerbook
- Use Ableton Live
- Use Traktor 3 to DJ and use the midi controllers to control. (I would like to use the decks to control Traktor sometime in the future, when the cost comes down!)
- Use a Microphone to record vocals etc into Ableton Live.

So I think I need a soundcard that has inputs for microphone and to record from the decks.

I know I also need to upgrade my amlifier and speaker system.

Any advice appreciated.
