I currently own a M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 which i use to record into Cubase. I also own a Souncraft Spirit Folio 16/2, which i have running in stereo out to the card.
I am looking to upgrade my soundcard so that i can use the direct outs on this mixer and simultaniously record seperate tracks into cubase. E.g A drum kit, each mic recorded on a seperate track in cubase.

Im a little un-clear of what i really need.
I have looked into such cards as the M-Audio Delta 1010, which i believe will do this, but does anyone know of any cheaper or better options?

:?
