Hi guys,

I'm looking to have a really simple and portable studio setup.  I read about the KB37 and I'm really curious as to whether it (Along with a laptop, Cubase, instruments/mics and a set of headphones or studio monitors) is everything I'd need to do record/mix an entire project.  Does the KB37 act as a low latency ASIO sound card?  Or would I also need an external soundcard like an M-audio Fast track Pro or a Presonus Firebox to get the full mix output (including midi vsts and all inserts) to headphones or monitors?  Also, can you completely bypass all the Line6 software and just use it as a digital interface to record dry and then use other plugins like Guitar Rig or are you forced to always have extra Line6 software running?

It seems potentially really powerful but if I'd need another DI Box or couldn't just bypass all the Line6 Software when I would like to just record and use other tools, I'm probably better off to just buy a small USB sound card and midi keyboard.  Thoughts?

Thanks!
