I think i broke my soundcard(the one that comes built in the PC). I plugged my guitar into my amp and from the headphone jack of the amp into the PC. I didn't think it would inflict permanent damage but it did. I take this as an oportunity to upgrade my sound card because now mine is hissing alot. Anybody know of a sound card with an XLR jack for a mic and(obviously) an output?

I want to buy an interface with 8 Mic preamps, which might have a good quality and offer 16 ch Adat, cause i want to make 24 track live recording and use in my studio too.

The options I have in the market are Focusrite Saffire Pro, The PreSonus Firestudio and the Alesis IO26? Is there any other better option? which one is better?

Thanks :)

We've been using a sta 2000 ADA soundcard and Adobe Audition software.This has work very well,but we are changing to Pro Tools.
Do we need to still use the sta 2000 or will the digi002 do the same thing.
Can we utilize the sta 2000 into the new system to make it even more flexible? Thanks.

i use the following eqiupment (i am a rapper)

Cool Edit Pro 2.1
Mic : Audio-Technica AT3035
Nady Pop Filter
Behringer Preamp
Alesis Compressor

i have fairly good quality, but i was wonderin
if a sound card could improve it?

also i have seen tht there is two kinds.

I have just purchased a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS Platinum sound card, and last night had it installed. Everything seems to be ok with it, except with Cubase SX, which is what I bought it to use with. The problem is that I now had no sound at all in Cubase, when trying to play old files or create new ones.

Hey Guys and Girls!

Just wanted to know if it is worth investing in a new soundcard to record vocals. Im currently using Nuendo with a crappy soundcard at the moment. For me, the quality is fine, but will it improve if i got a new one?

And if so, should i get a firewire card? I'm looking to spend $250..

thanks!

Hey, mastering guys and gals,
Some people says, that if I use for the mastering software equipment only, I don't need any expansive sound-card, because everything is doing in digital process. I mean that good soundcard is necessary for good monitoring of the mastered sound.
Thanks for any opinion.

Hello
I Need to get a better soundcard for my studiorecording. So far I have used a simple realtec card, but I have experienced lots of this background noice, as the one you hear from your speakers when you turn the volume to max.
So could anyone suggest me a good soundcard?
It should have the best quality avaible, with midi, surround and all those things...

I'm setting up a beginner's rig and have decided on the MXL 990/991 and Audio Buddy combo from Guitar Center, so now I need a sound card that goes with the Audio Buddy well, but won't be totally obsolete in case I want to upgrade to a real at some point.

Hi all!

I'm sorta a noobie to digital recording, and I need some advice on some new equipment. I'm going to expand my analog studio to digital. Now I'm wondering what I need to look for when purchasing some sort of soundcard. I'd like to use Pro Tools (does it matter if it's LE or M-powered?), but I have Logic Pro for now.
