Get something like a Presonus Firebox for an interace. A mic or two. If you go check out a music store like Guitar Center they have all this there.

I have some mics just need the Interface is the Presonus Firebox a good one? i was looking at an edirol one but im not sure which ones are good.

I just watched a video for the Presonus Firebox on there website and it seemed like it was meant for cubase :S it said install the disks you get with the Firebox then run cubase and went through how to use it in cubase :S will it work in Logic 8?
