I've got the Tascam US122, which can be had for $179, and is 24/48, with phantom power, two XLR's, two guitar/line switchable, and is bus powered. I highly recommend it.

The M-Audio sound cards are very good, that's all I'm familiar with from them.

Can this be used as a preamp
Tascam CD-GT 1 MK I

Anyone know if those Line 6 Pods are any good (do they work like preamps)

Is there anything that works like a pre amp but has effects on it (for use when travelling)

I have that M-Audio pre-amp and it works just fine with my ibook g4. I have recorded an electric guitar, active and passive pickup basses, and an acoustic-electric guitar direct with no problems. Also have recorded my amp with a mic no problem there either. I have been setting the gain about the 1 oclock position if that helps. Also its good for vocals direct although you could use a mic tube preamp to warm up the vocals a bit. Hope this helps you out. For the money it is a pretty good piece of equipment and completly portable. It is powered by the usb port on your computer. I have a laptop and that and it is great for jam sessions.

I've been using a M-Audio Firewire 410, and if their USB stuff is on par witht heir Firewire stuff, then I'd say it's pretty damned good.

I would imagine it could do either firewire or USB unless it's not 2.0 compliant. 2.0 is a little faster than firewire, but they are about the same so it should be the same thing

So what do most people use for portable pc recording

Do you use software for effects?

can you get a preamp with effects already on them?

Any recommendations?
