I'm new to the forum, and to recording in general. I really want to get something that I can plug into my flatscreen iMac G4 that will allow me to record vox, guitar/bass, and possibly even drums directly into my computer. I also would like this to come with tools to record/master what I do. I went to Guitar center and asked them, and they suggested the M-audio firewire 410, and a friend of mine suggested to me the Digidesign Mbox. Do you all have any suggestions maybe? I have been looking at these two systems and am worried that the M-audio doesn't come with very a very complete editing/mixing/etc. software, but really like the amount of inputs and the fact that it already has a midi solution. Any thoughts, or other suggestions, PLEASE?!!?

does the tascam come with any recording software?
Also, would I need preams since it appreas to not have any? The reason that I had originally looked into the Mbox was because a friend recommended it, and when I went to Guitar Center and asked the recording people what a good option was, they suggested the firewire 410. And obviously I knew not to trust him on the spot so I looked around for further answers. I'm worried about that 828 because there isn't much information about it on the motu website, and because I found it for a good price on Ebay, but after buying some other hardware on there, I'd really rather be able to buy something that I could at least get a little bit more information or even hands on experience with.
