Hardware

• I record with a Delta OmniStudio from M-Audio. It’s basically a combination of the Delta-66 PCI audio card and an I/O box with two mic preamps and a bunch of I/O options. They don’t seem to sell this particular combo anymore, but I’d recommend any of their products.
• A lot of folks have had fun with the Zoom PS04, a palmtop digital 4-track. You can basically bring it anywhere. Check it out at zZounds.
