Usb sound card for microphone

broken image

The microphones I might want to use are either the shure SM57 or SM58 or an xlr condensor mic or both. I know there are soundcards that can do this and have looked through the list that the Ardour site provides, but some of the solutions they give are outdated, especially the m-audio stuff. I want to start recording a podcast and need to have the best hardware solution to record 4 to 5 mic’s at the same time in the same physical location. I also currently use a soundblaster audigy card and I want to upgrade.
