Default Good soundcard?
Well, maybe it's time to change that Soundblaster Live in my computer. When I bought it many years ago it was a revolutionary device, according to the guy in the music store. Any suggestions what I should look for. I don't need lots of ins and outs, but how many bits, what latency, samplingrate etc

get a M-Audio audiophile 24/96, you'll have almost 0 latency and great audio quality. It has 2 ins and 2 outs, spdif and midi i/o.

I'm loving my Soundblaster audigy 2 platinum ex. The external box is a bit excessive but it has 3 line-ins and 3 outputs (6.1 surround), spdif and optical in/outs, midi connectors, a firewire port, and a remote control.. heheh. I've had no troubles with latency on it at all.

Yeah, this card has been raved about a lot. I had one, but needed more i/o, so I picked up the 828mkII, which wouldn't be what you're after. But the 24/96 is a good performer for the investment...

Well I've thought a lot on buying that audiophile thing. Especially now when I've realised that the price has dropped to 50% last month...

One more question: Do you actually hear the difference between 16 and 24 bytes. Impressing numbers and data is one thing, but is there an audiable difference? Maybe that is just what's missing in my productions, hehe...

i've got an echo gina and it's great. 2 ins 8 outs - a-dat on the breakout box as well makes it a good price I think

i don't, i also know a guy who produces psy trance at a pro level (albums, compilations, live gigs), he records in 16bits, there isn't really a big difference imho
