When choosing the best sound card for recording there are a number of things you must consider if you want to put your money in the right place.

Here is my list but obviously there are any number of factors that can go into making that perfect sound card decision.

1. The fist thing is how many inputs and outputs you’re going to need. If it’s just you and a guitar then this decision is easy. (Two will do.) But if you plan on recording the band then you may need anywhere up to 32.
2. Are you going to be using a Microphone for vocal and acoustic instruments? If so you will need a good Microphone pre-amp and maybe phantom power.
3. The last thing you need to decide is how much you’re going to spend on your sound card. If you have a couple of grand then you will have no problem, but if your budget is smaller it might be time to get on eBay!

In conclusion there is not really a best sound card for recording but a lot of different options that need to be considered. I hope this post made things a little clearer.
