sound card recommendations?
I suppose there are 5 zillion audicards on the market, another 3
zillion a/d converter/interface boxes. What I'm looking for is a basic high quality interface/card. I'm thinking something to get a single mic pre in the computer. I simply have no desire for additional channels at this time. If I need to add more channels I'd simply get another card. I want the stream line approach. Can anyone recommend a card(s)? 24/192? are we talking overkill? How can I put this....would 192 make 96 seem like TAB(soft drink)? To be quite honest the highest I've recorded at is 18/48. I've noticed a slight difference between frequencies of 48khz and cd quality or even 32khz....it's subtle, and I think I was being honest with myself and not buying into numbers. There's also the processing speed needed for 192, as well as hd space. I'm not thinking in terms of 500 tracks....I kinda like smaller arrangements. 8-16 tracks, sometimes less. thanks, William |

Google them up in RAP and you'll probably find about 1 zillion posts, which will also lead to other options. Good luck, - Brian |

Actually this applies to anyone who reads this
I have an Audiomedia III (digidesign) card that anyone can have for the price of postage from the UK. Last I used it (had to be over 3 years ago) it worked great. I pulled it out of my mac when I gave the mac away. This card (if it works) will allow you to run protools LE the card will go to the first person to EMAIL me. Brian Takei wrote in message l.net...

Good luck, - Brian Ok thanks Brian, Ya I'm not sure how to judge the quality of a sound card. The common spec of 24/96 doesn't mean much if the connectors are radio shack style. I imagine there are other internal technical features relating to how it goes about converting analog/digital. None of which I will ever be an expert on lol thanks, William |
