    Whassup!

    Need advice on what makes and model's I should be looking at for buying a soundcard.

    Needs to have at least 3 if not inputs so that I can pulg in 2 midi controllers and another mixer for vinyl.

    Can someone point me in the right direction? Links to what you'd recommend much appreciated.

    How much should I be looking at spending?


    Regards

    Seems like you don't quite understand what a soundcard does.

    MIDI controllers don't go into your soundcard, they go into your laptop.

    I don't understand what you mean by "another mixer for vinyl", are you using a laptop with 2 controllers, and also a pure vinyl set up?

    If you are, then you would set the vinyl up as normal, into 2 phono channels on the mixer (no soundcard needed for this), and then run the laptop into the other 1/2 channels on the mixer, depending on whether you're mixing internally or externally on the laptop.

    I'd recommend the Audio 2 DJ, will give you 2 channels, it's sturdy, cheap, and has great sound quality.

    If you only have 2 USB ports on your laptop you'll need a USB hub too (get a powered one). If you have 3, like Macbook Pros etc, you don't need one.
