Recording guitar (don't want to sound digital) INTERFACE?

I'm totally new to all of this. I have 2 Sennhauser E609 mics on my Marshall cabinet and they are running through a Lexicon Lambda into a USB input on my computer. I am using Cakewalk Sonar 7 for my recordings. I have a nice tube amp that I use and high-endguitars but my recordings sound very digital compared to what is actually coming aout of my cabinet. What is the problem?

Interface Compatibility and Hardware Recognition

I have a MOTU Traveler and just recently got Pro Tools LE 7.4 for my Mac OS X 5.2. Something is wrong and it isn't working right. With the MOTU came Audiodesk as well, but neither Pro Tools LE or Audio Desk are recognizing the hardware even after downloading new drivers. Is Pro Tools only compatible with digidesign? Is there a reason that the MOTU isn't allowing me to configure it?

Im buying an interface and have some questions.

I have decided to start out buying the PreSonus Firestudio interface for my home recording setup. Its cheap I heard it works great and its easy to use, which is awesome since Im a beginner. My plan is to start simple, figure out the basics and then upgrade accordingly as I learn more. Right now however I have a couple questions that need to be answered before I go spend $400.

Do I need an audio interface if I have a/d d/a converters?

Hi. Just a basic question. I have a PreSonus firebox and a firestudio. I am going to buy some high quality a/d d/a converters (Not sure which ones. Thinking of getting a Universal Audio 2192 for now, but am also looking at the Apogeeda x16 and ad x16 and an RME 8 QS M) and some preamps (api 3124, Neve 2-610). Do I need an audio interface, or do the converters work in their stead?
