I would suggest you look at the Emu Audio Production Studio as your audio
I/O http://www.emu.com/products/aps/aps.html

As for software, you should try VST, Cakewalk, Logic etc and see which best
suits your way of working. They all do much the same thing but each
approaches the execution of their functions differently. Any decent large
music store should be able to show you all these packages for an A/B
comparison.

Best of luck
