Hey,
Im about to rebuild my computer so i can eventually buy a firewire mixer and record !
But, what sound card can people reccomend. I havnt got much to spend but is a cheap soundcard going to be OK or should i be looking for something else, maybe even second hand ?
Cheers

If you're using a firewire mixer, the board it's self is doing your A/D conversion, so having an excellent soundcard is sort of superfluous unless you aren't monitoring through the board.
