robbydadrummer	Date: March 22, 2004 @ 5:55 PM what's wrong with SoundBlaster cards? I've never had a problem with mine... but I thought I'd ask. What problems are you having Strutherburg?
BossMode	Date: March 22, 2004 @ 5:58 PM I heard A Delta 44 Was Good..
kredd	Date: March 22, 2004 @ 6:14 PM m-audio makes pretty good stuff. i've got a delta 10/10LT. little bit of overkill with the rca I/O's for my recording needs but the 2 XLR in's are perfect.
Gmonk	Date: March 22, 2004 @ 9:01 PM ST Audio DSP 2000. 8 analog I/O, digital I/O, 2 midi out, 1 in, rock solid perfomanmce, low latency, etc etc very good card G
Thaspian	Date: March 22, 2004 @ 9:11 PM M-Audio and Terratec make the best soundcards, music wise. Creative Labs has awesome gaming cards, yet they are horrible with anything else. Creative Labs has a lot of bugs in their products. I'd recommend an M-Audio Revolution, it's recommended heavily by avsforum.com , hydrogenaudio.org , and many review sites, and can be found for $80. The card above it, with more inputs and slightly better recording quality is the M-Audio Audiophile. M-Audio makes good stuff.
pog	Date: March 22, 2004 @ 9:13 PM Thanks thasp... I was actually just researching a good soundcard for a client.

Thaspian	Date: March 22, 2004 @ 9:15 PM Oh, also, if you're a heavy gamer and want perfect audio and maximum FPS in games, and want audiophile recording sound quality and want to use the outputs on it for a hi-fi and whatnot, I'd suggest, yes, the weird idea of either having two cards or two PCs, since you won't find a card that does both very well.
Gmonk	Date: March 23, 2004 @ 10:06 AM If you really want to use an sblive or any other sb card, check these guys out... They make an awesome driver for any EMU 10K1 based card. Asi support, very low latency, very solid. I use this on my second PC which really justr serves as an instrument rack and have had no probs atall http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/ G
Order	Date: March 25, 2004 @ 12:53 PM I love my Terratec to death...you should seriously either save for it or check on Ebay to see if someone is selling one for cheap. Its definately worth it, although I wish the company would update their drivers more often...I think thats the main reason my Unreal Tournament 2004 is crashing all the time.
EmpireDay3	Date: March 26, 2004 @ 9:37 AM used to have an event/echo Layla - very pleasd with its performance. now use a MOTU 24i and 2408 mkII - in my opinion, best a/d d/a conversion - the cuemix console is a really cool feature. low noise, no latency, great sound for 24bit at 48kHz.
