Roger that.


What you guys sayin - they have sound cards with XLR jacks on them? Or do
you use USB connections to something external? Spill!

USB or Firewire. It keeps the analogue bits away from the electrical
noise inside the computer.

Or one like this:-

Fits into a PCI slot on the motherboard and is *much* better quality
than motherboard sound.

Cards like this were around in 1995, and I'm still using one with a PCI
card in the computer and a breakout box with 8 ins, 4 outs, and a midi
synth built in. It's a bit noisy by modern standards, but it does the
job for some sources.
