i thought it had xlr, but i can't figure out if it does or not.
looking through m-audio's site i think i've found an affordable alternative. the mobilepre USB.
here are the features on the mobilepre

not sure about the mic's, my friend is giving me two nady condensors at a bargain price, as she got them from her dad for free. i've heard stuff they've recorded, sounds good.
i'd like to work toward getting some ADK's or something along those lines, but i want to see what i can get done by being thrifty first
working on getting a mount and stand/clamp. only really plan on recording local shows, and the mix doesn't sound that great when just recorded through sbd. so i'm working on getting the rig setup.
thanks for the input guys. once i get everything, or work everything out, i'll be sure to put pictures up.
