I am having great results with Cool Edit 2000 (the cheaper version) If your sound card is of high quality (with a new confuser it SHOULD be) you can manage almost anything if you have the right software.

There was a thread a while back which had some great advice about recording directly to your PC. I learned enough from that one thread to be able to make intelligent decisions as to software and firmware.

I can't remember what that thread was called, perhaps someone reading this can link this thread to it.
