FYI, the '''Maudio Fasttrack Pro''' is a greatd usb interface and "works out of the box" (after a couple of Jack server settings)... There is also a cheaper version for approx $87 CDN, but lacks MIDI connection (which may not be a problem since newer MIDI musical keyboards are USB anyways...)
Since I want to keep things simple, I have decided <u>'''not to use any USB peripherals'''</u> (other than the USB midi musical keyboard), for my band practices and connect live performances by connecting the netbook audio output directly to the amplifier. '''This allows me one less thing to carry around, and I can leave my Tascam US122 USB device at home in my basement studio. This "direct plugin method" can be done achieved with the use of a an inexpensive '''1/8 " stereo (male) to RCA "Y-adapter (female)"''' which can be purchased from and a RCA (male) to 1/4 "The Source" or from certain "Dollar Stores - they are cheap".(male) mono Jack cable (again, this is relatively inexpensive)!
'''Here is a link to the Y-adapter for reference:''' [ [http://www.ramelectronics.net/audio-video/adapters/rca-to-1-8-3-5mm-adapters/35-586g/prod35586G.html y-adaptor] ]
