AdamsGod	Date: January 17, 2005 @ 10:13 AM soundcard for 40$? "el cheapo" soundcard maybe. 250$ you can get an "Echo Mia" soundcard. i think its great
azhazhellfire	Date: January 18, 2005 @ 12:53 AM here in new zealand you can get a soundblaster live for $60NZD which is about $30USD
AdamsGod	Date: January 18, 2005 @ 9:40 AM i woulndt buy anything by creative, i meen.. its very "beginner". if you have the money, spend it on something good, so that you wont have to spend money again, after you buy it. know what i meen?
shadowself	Date: January 18, 2005 @ 10:37 AM Yeah... you cannot get a good soundcard for $40. But check into the Delta/Audiophile series - they have some mid-level cards with pretty good prices.
imemine	Date: January 25, 2005 @ 5:18 PM What shadowself and AdamsGod said! M-Audio Audiophile 2496 USD 129.95MSRP Great card for the money IMHO! You can get a Behringer 12 channel mixer for around $80 US these days--Amazingly cheap. I have a 12 channel Yamaha and it was only $300—Mackie have similarly priced (to the Yamaha that is) entry level pieces that offer great S/N ratio and will work well for inexpensive home studio gear. Spend the money on the sound card!!!!

hueseph	Date: January 25, 2005 @ 11:17 PM You should donate that to the needy. If you like I could forward that for you. Really, I don't mind.
Veracohr	Date: January 27, 2005 @ 7:44 PM I don't know how many times I see people saying "I have X dollars, what should I buy?" If you don't know what you should buy, save your freakin money until you do know. If you don't know enough about something to know what you should get, you probably shouldn't be spending a large amount of money on it.
imemine	Date: January 27, 2005 @ 11:09 PM Perhaps that why they ask these questions? :bandhead: I guess I’m just an idiot because I like to ask questions too before I buy something. Curious, how do you actually find out what it is you need if you don’t ask questions, read, look around and try stuff? Who said that this isn’t just part of the search for the poster? I suppose that your knowledge of things to add to your gear is simply immaculately drawn from a spiritually conceived vision.
furiousBall	Date: January 28, 2005 @ 11:17 AM you should just give all that money to me. i fucking love money like a hurricane
dkeifer	Date: January 28, 2005 @ 9:56 PM You should invest it. Wisely. Put half in a factory that makes anti-personel mines, and half in a factory that makes prosthetic limbs. You can't lose.
Veracohr	Date: January 29, 2005 @ 11:20 PM I suppose that your knowledge of things to add to your gear is simply immaculately drawn from a spiritually conceived vision. How'd you know?
Veracohr	Date: January 29, 2005 @ 11:21 PM Blast! I thought these forums supported UBB tags!

cyberseth	Date: January 31, 2005 @ 3:43 PM Just keep it in your bank account. Wouldn't you feel like a real idiot if you decided to splash out needlessly, and then suddenly got a fine for $250?? You never know what's coming around the corner, so just save it up until you need it.
SpectralAutumn	Date: February 1, 2005 @ 3:26 PM Zoom MRS-802CD was a hell of a buy....I recommend it.
DOLEMAC	Date: March 3, 2005 @ 5:05 PM PRO TOOLS MBOX cost: $430 comes with LE version of software, and hardware with 2 mic/line inputs and stereo outputs. This is a great entry level purchase for someone who is wanting to get into digital recording. And it is portable. the hardware is small enough to fit into the smallest of bags, and connects to any computer (PC or MAC) via USB. trust me, you'll thank me later
