About home recording

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Tascam US 122 is a nice start, but this Firebox sure is very good!

This is USB, which ain't bad. You might consider Firewire but then you have to check if you have a TI chipset, so don't bother, that's too much hassle as it is ;)

ASIO compatibility with this kind of soundcards is a no-brainer, Presonus products come with their own dedicated ASIO drivers.

Remember to disable the internal soundcard when hooking up this (much better) beauty.

Good luck and happy recording! :D
