i wanna buy new sound card, the purpouse of this card is VOICE RECORDING WITH A GOOD MIC for video documentals.

With my actual sound blaster i get a background noise, i wanna get ride of recording with this noise.

I´ve found several shops for terratec, but i can buy on-line too.

ANY SUGGESTION?

What you've suggested thus far is pretty much any good choice. Go with either Terratec, M-Audio or Echo. I'd probably go with either M-Audio or Echo, if only because of their better tech support. At that point, it all depends on what connections you want/need.

Be sure to use an XLR mic with a good preamp before going to the audio interface.

(Some audio interfaces such as M-Audio's USB Duo act as both an audio interface and a mic preamp, but note that due to the limitations of USB 1.1 audio, you're not allowed to monitor while recording. You can use a device like the Duo in "standalone" mode, but you'd still need another audio interface.)

HTH,

The Mia isn't available anymore; it's been replaced by the MiaMIDI (which is a good thing, as the original Mia didn't have MIDI connections). I'd vote for the MiaMIDI too.

i've owned about four or five different audio interfaces and i currently i use a terratec.

best bang for the buck IMHO, good drivers and performance plus they always seem to be priced better than the competition
