Presonus AudioBox USB is used by the beginners as well as pros. It is one of the best on the market considering its price and what you get for it. I came to this conclusion while working with four other usb audio interfaces in this price range (up to $ 200). This product also includes DAW (digital audio workstation) by Presonus, Studio One Artist. Just connect AudioBox to your PC or Mac with usb cable, go to Presonus.com, register your product and you'll get the download link for Studio One Artist version, which is really easy to work with comparing to other DAWs on the market. Good stuff, if I may say so.
