iron Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Hello, I am trying to buy a new sound card. I play the guitar so i need it to have some sort of input for that and also play around with Propellerhead Reason. Anyone recommend a soundcard that would give me high quality input/output? I dont really care much for surround sound (as in 6 speakers and whatnot). Just want a reliable soundcard with fast response for input and output. I was looking at the Soundblaster Extigy because thats the only company i know. Or maybe anyone has been successful in make a reliable Firewire soundcard or something? something i would make on my own or buy, I prefer the former :).
goyousalukis Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 This one's pretty cheap and has inputs for guitar/bass and microphones:http://www.zzounds.com/item--MDOMOBILEPREI don't own it, but I have a delta 44 from the same company and I like it a lot.Justin
pay_c Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Yepp, also having the Delta 44 ... pretty ok...The Soundblaster stuff is normally not the stuff you want to have in a studio... Midiman stuff is OK, and Terratec is said to be pretty good (I just *heard* about that up to now from everyone - no personal experience). Search for those companies.
Screaming_Rabbit Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 http://www.rme-audio.com/english/firewire/ff800.htmI don't have it (Firewire), but it's supposed to be the same technology like the Hammerfall Digi9652 I use and I'm very satisfied. The lowest latency I experienced yet.
iron Posted July 9, 2004 Author Posted July 9, 2004 What is the latency you guys get on your deltas and how much should i expect on the MobilePre. I think that is what I need.
goyousalukis Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 I haven't noticed any latency on my delta 44 - it has a built-in monitor mixer that is controlled from a software control panel. I'd assume that the mobile-pre is setup the same way. Justin
pay_c Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 I brought my latency down to about 4 ms (Delta 44). I guess with some driver updates I even would come down to the 2 ms.I also own a Midiman Transit, it´s not firewire but USB, but also a very reliable and good thing - latency @ 2 ms.
Sephult Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Hammerfall DSP w/Nuendo Analog Expensive, but absolutely "0" latency.Best card I've used so far.1/4" -8 in/ 8 outAdat optical I/O (8 IO)Spidf I/O BNC wordclockhuge software mixer, etc...
