I'd skip the soundblasters and go with an external sound interface for musicians that comes with MIDI/XLR/headphones/Guitarinput etc.

Thanks MickeM So if I go for the external sound interface I don't need to use any kind of program or so to use it on my pc? You'll still need Cubase or something similar. -------------------- Youtube

Here's what works for me: I plug my guitar into a Fender Frontman's 15R preamp (you can use a XLR converter or a DI-box, or a guitar preamp), and from the preamp to an M-Audio Audiophile 192 (an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 would be a better solution, since I don't think you'll need a sound card that can record in 192 kHZ, and it is also a 24-bit card, and it costs less - I now regret for not buying the Audiophile 2496 instead). As for the software, I use Nuendo 2 for recording, mixing, etc; for a guitar amp, effects, speakers and microphone simulation VST plugin, I use Amplitube 2 (my favorite - also my recommendation). As for other instruments, I use Reason 4 and Addictive Drums. That 2496 I've got is a constant source of problems for me. The audio quality is good, the latency is low (2.5ms) but it will crack and produce xruns if something is not perfectly configured (wrong IRQ, no realtime system, bad pci hardware...). So I'm not sure if it's the right thing to go for a non tech guy if I've got so many problems with it (and I'm software developer). An external firewire/usb interface would probably be better. Although the have a higher latency. I hope this helps. Jonas Edited for language.

I only used it on linux so far so I don't know about the windows specific issues. Although at least one problem was hardware wise. I had to reassign the irq of the pci slot in the bios to 9 or something that got rid of most crackles. The other thing I needed to do is switch to a realtime kernel. But that step is linux specific. Oh, and my PCI tv card made problems as well, but as I don't watch tv anymore I just removed it
