Bryan,
I'm not that up on MIDI but If you're interested I wrote up my
background work in building my multitrack audio system here -
http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA_JACK_ARDOUR.html. Take a look
at the section on hardware.

Hello,
I'm a bit of a newbie (okay, REALLY newbie) when it comes to working with
audio, but I am a strong linux user.
Basically, I have the following:
2 - instrument microphone (XLR)
1 - vocal microphone (XLR)
1 - keyboard w/ midi interface
I want to do some multitrack recording, using anywhere fmro 2-4 of the
above items at once. I am getting ready to start building a dedicated box
for this. So, what kind of hardware should I be looking at? I'm looking
for something somewhat inexpensive (RME Hammerfall was about $600, Midiman
delta 1010 LT was closer to $700, both too much).
Also, should I be looking at any additional items like a mixing board,
amplifiers and such? I would greatly appreciate any ideas, thoughts,
hints, pointers, links!
Thank you in advance,
Bryan
P.S. I know it seems like a lot for a "newbie", but I just like doing
things right the first time.
