Hello,

I'm running a pretty cheap and simple setup for my fully mic'd drum recording. I'm about to buy a (hopefully cheap) audio interface. I'm currently only recording using the stereo mix direct from the mixer into line-in. This only leaves me with 2 channels of separation (i.e. left and right, which I separate and turn into mono).

I use a kick drum trigger and module, I usually have that feeding into the mixer, but I've decided I should give myself a third separate channel by having my triggered kick drum feed in as midi signal instead of as part of the mix.

I need to buy a midi interface, since I already plan to buy an audio interface I was thinking I could just buy one interface that will deal with both the stereo mix and the midi signal, am I correct in thinking this?

My gear
1. Behringer mixer (with no usb, midi or any kind of digital output)
2. Drum mics
3. A Yamaha DTXpress electronic drumkit module (with midi output)
4. A kick drum trigger
5. An iBook G4 running Cubase SX

Here is the interface I'm looking at buying, will this work how I want it to? M-Audio Fast Track Pro - RubberMonkey.co.nz New Zealand
