New Studio Need Preamp / AdDa help !

Whats up?
Im putting together a project / budget studio and I'm trying to get the best sound I can.
Unsure of a few things though.

First off the main thing to be recorded will be Rap and R & B.

2nd,i guess i've decided to run pro tools and I'm going to run with either the digi 001 or the mbox.probally the 001 because of the amounts of outs and in's.

new studio help

I’m in the process of converting my basement into a home studio. My pc is done but now I need an interface. I was looking at the aardvark Q10 or the Focusrite Octopre. What are the differences between both of these? I noticed the Q10 has midi inputs and the octopre doesn't. What does midi actually do and what do I need to use it? Sorry for so many questions, I’m just starting out. Jeremy
