Hello all,
First of all, I didn't find a general hardware thread and did not know whether to post this here or in the Hobbies section, so I'm sorry if I break your codes of honor.
I have a bass and an electric guitar. Lately I've been wanting to create music and I want to record it and work with my recordings in, e.g., Cubase, so I need an audio interface. Could you suggest something for up to 200 dollars (~500 Lithuanian Litas)?
Action is in Lithuania, so if anyone's from there, would appreciate your feedback. There are only 2 shops in my city (Muzikos Faktorius and Tamsta) and I've read mixed reviews about them, so optionally I could buy the interface from another country. I just want a good quality/price product.
I've read reviews about the Steinberg UR22, it costs about 190 dollars, but one person wrote about limited functionality.

(not sure if it's a legit enough website to base your opinion on)
Also, a friend of mine has a Tascam US-122MkII and it serves it's purpose well enough, so that's another option for me.
Comments and suggestions welcome.
Thank you in advance.
I once had a Mackie Onyx Blackjack, it's simple, easy to use, hooks up via USB. I picked it up new for $125.
I had no issues with it, No latency, no noise, etc.

Good luck!
Quadcapture UA55 is nice
The Steinberg CI 1 is amazing for working with cubase if you're working on a budget. Just really good all purpose interface for casual/bedroom production. Easily outclasses other converters up to 300$ for utility
Most of my home demo stuff comes from using a Presonus Audiobox package deal:

Only about $200, comes with headphones, interface, condenser mic, the works.
The Audiobox itself works like a dream, definitely worth it. Signal comes in pretty hot from DI guitar so there's no dialing up the volumes to unneeded levels.
Strap some Asio4All, Amp emulation, and a DAW of your choice(StudioOne comes with the package, but I use Adobe Audition) and you can reach damn near professional audio levels.
Also worth noting that the only 2 negative reviews are by retards. 1. Installing Asio4All drivers is most recommended for the job and 2. The mic's stand screw has an adaptor screwed in for smaller stand configurations if needed, easily screwed out.
I highly recommend this site when purchasing anything music related: [url]http://www.sweetwater.com/[/url]

protip from Valve: don't use behringer.
