I'm trying to create a small recording setup in my basement, and I'm on a very limited budget. While comparing different hardware and software, I'm having trouble finding out what is actually compatible here.

Hi! I was wondering if there's a comparative review out there somewhere on multi I/O soundcards anywhere. i'm looking at getting a new one sometime soon, and there are various brands to choose from - Echo, Emu 1820, RME Multiface, etc. But there are budget considerations as well.

How do I set up the MBOX to be used as my system's sound card? I don't see why it wouldn't be possible, but I'm wondering if anyone else has don/does it and if there are any complications in doing so. Thanks,

Brandon

If you install a new sound card such as the M-Delta Audiophile 2496 PCI will your computer still use the onboard sound for your speakers and headphones for games and music or will there be a driver conflict?

I am not sure if anyone can help but i have been having a major problem running Cubase. When I open the application I can use it for about 2 minutes, but then my computer locks up. I am using sound blaster audigy platinum. I have read that this may not be the sound card to use for cubase. I am at my wits end. I tried everything I can think of. Can anyone help.

specs:
Windows XP SP2
AMD 3500
1.2GB RAM (might double soon -- although past 2GB, I've read, on computer engineer forums, is generally pointless and will actually slow a system)
Soundblaster Audigy32 (old)
Priority of programs used (in following order): Fruity Loops 5 / Wavelab 5 / Reason / Cakewalk

Greetings,
Any help would be great.
I have a EMU0404. I have Cool Edit Pro ver 2 installed. I can play sounds through the Cool Edit and via the computer. However, I can not record using the above. Cool edit does not Hear my inputs. (MIc, Playback, CD etc..)
I use Cool Edit at another studio and have no problems with it. This is a new install and..WOW!

Hi everyone in the land of music recording. Been recording home studio with live instruments and now want to expand with a decent sound card. Been using Cakewalk, yes old timer I know! Can anyone make any suggestions to sound cards or share any experiences?
Many thanx

Hi and thanks for your two bits.

In your opinion, who's making the best sound cards for Mac Laptops with minimal impact on the CPU? In terms of low latency and multiple outputs (8+), MIDI accuracy and good software drivers for OSX.3, what are your thoughts? What's most flexible for live application and most reliable?

Hi guys!
If you guys are familiar with the M-Audio Delta 410 PCI soundcard, please help me out.

As this card has only a pair of Signal Inputs (channel 1 & 2).

I need to separately record vocals on channel 1 and instruments on channel 2, for example. I don't know if it's going to work with Cubase SX or Adobe Audition or Magix Sequoia.
