best stereo system software?
my stereo was a nice vintage pioneer sx-838, connected to my computer, tv, vcr, 5 disk cd changer, 2 10 band dual eq's, suround sound decoder, and 3 other external amps plus 2 in the decoder and pioneer stereo. I had 2 12 inch 1000 watt car subs in here too, on a car amp powered by a 100 amp 12v power supply I built. it wasn't the highest quality, smallest, or easiest to use, but I was proud of it and I liked it. unfortunately, I need to clean out a bit so I have a little more space in here, so everything's taken apart and put in storage for now. here's what I'm looking for:
I'd like to do a new pretty complex system again, but do everything with my computer. I'd like to use the 5.1 onboard sound card for output and add a second sound card for inputs (am/fm, tv/vcr...) I need a nice piece of software that can be customized enough for my needs. I'm looking for a sort of virtual home theator system that can work with 2 sound cards and link them. any ideas? |

Here is what I would suggest: Make a list of the kinds of software (records, CD's movie) that you have or want to get. Make a list of the work flows you want to perform Do you just want playback or do youwant to record also Obtain a computer system that can perform these functions Obtain a software system that does the workflow Obtain the hardware that the proposed software requires, ie. soundcard and hard disk, cd writer etc. Test the hardware / software for the proposed workflow Obtain a playback system such as amplifier and speaker and projector or TV Begin assembly of the media library |

I'd like to use the 5.1 onboard sound card for output and add a second sound card for inputs (am/fm, tv/vcr...) Most computer audio interfaces have both inputs and outputs, all on one card. Why use two pieces of hardware to do that which one can do well? |
