Hi! I was going to get 0404 USB, but it's completely out of stock everywhere. So I was wondering if 0204 USB will be good enough for recording? My available computers are PC with XP and laptop with Windows 7. I will be recording 1 Mic (voice) + digital piano via line in/out or whatever else that's called, but it will be direct sound, so I don't need MIDI at the moment (0204 doesn't feature that anyways). Will 0204 will be powerful enough to record these 2 things at the same time? Is it good for recording? Also I was wondering about balanced/unbalanced outputs as EMU homepage states this is great for recording because features balanced outputs, is it right?
At the moment I'm also looking at M-Audio Fast Track series. For my current budget the best deal would be to by Fast Track MKII, but it doesn't feature MIDI and I also wonder about it's ability to deliver... Fast Track Pro is a safer but double the cost. Is it worth it? Or better to get MKII for now and then later invest in some more serious equipment?
Thanks!
