I'm on a low budget looking to record vocals,guitar,bass,keyboard and drums.
After doing research the
M-Audio Fast Track Ultra seems to be the best deal for me.

# 20dB pad on each preamp
# Signal/peak LED indicator lights
# Phantom power
# 6 balanced line inputs
# 6 balanced analog outputs
# 2 analog inserts

# Built-in 1 x 1 MIDI interface
# 2 independent headphone outputs with individual volume controls
# Full ASIO 2.0, WDM, MME, and Core Audio support

I was originally going to buy the digidesign m-box2 PRO at a price of $799 to have Pro TOOL LE
but
the m-audio version has everything the mbox has and more (except it doesnt come with protools)
It appears to me that there arent many important features that Pro Tools LE has that m-powered doesnt, except some plugins and the ability to use digidesign hardware. (correct me if im wrong)
I will be using protools m-powered and logic pro
I will also need some studio monitors. I was thinking of a pair of m-audio ones for $250.
Any suggestions? thanks.
