Yep, Paul, I get it. In fact, I do have an EMU 0404 USB, which has two mono

inputs and

which U successfully used (until I moved to Linux where it isn't supported).
On the soundcard which is discussed in this thread, however, there seems to

be only one

mono jack, so no luck feeding a stereo signal into this card, I guess.

louigi - this is really just a question about cabling (once you get

beyond your mono-mic-only laptop dilemma).
i too have h/w synths, and their outputs are delivered on 1/4" TRS

sockets, 1 per channel. so, when connecting this kind of equipment,

the most obvious thing is to have a pair of 1/4" -> 1/4" *mono=

audio interface.
it sounds as if your experience with other equipment is leading you to

favor the idea of a cable with 2 1/4" *mono* jacks at one end, and 1

*stereo* jack at the other. there certainly are consumer sound cards

that use stereo mini-jacks for input, so if you used one of them, this

is the kind of cable you'd use. a lot of DJ equipment expects to

receive/deliver stereo via such jacks too (even more true as portable

digital music players have become the core playback device for many

DJs) hence the suggestion above. but most equipment aimed at musicians

doesn't use stereo jacks, just pairs of mono ones.
