what soundcards do you guys use?

I use a M-audio delta 1010 and it’s great. Haven’t gotten too many good reviews on the soundblaster one’s There are alot of good topics dealing with soundcards and whatnot over at yourbeats.com. I may be late on this one but hey i tried

i’m running a sound blaster audigy 2 zs, and that does everything alright for me, but I haven’t had the chance to use any MIDI, but I’d assume that it’d do the job alright…

I’m on the same card and can confirm it performs well on MIDI as well as all other areas.

M-AUDIO is accaptable entry-level for home music i like that cards

I use a DIGI001 card and break out box.
Works wonderful and I have had no issues with that hardware.

I have a Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro.
24bit/96kHz Recording

I only have RCA (Phono) outputs – no XLR or TRS
Its a Numark DXM-06……i know, i can hear you now fgp303, “the dxm-06 is shit” – but hey, i have to live within my means

I’m not too interested in making mix CDs right now – what I want to do is use my tables to record sounds, loops, and live mash-ups into a software program.

I really just want as much “bang for the buck” when it comes to sound quality if you know what i mean. Something maybe in the $200 range.

Hehe i now say shit but i not really like numark… its one of the standard bedroom mixer i only like the pioneer djm-600 (which good for work but nothin special + dont like the soundquality). If u want record in good quality u can do two think first try buy a soundcard around 200bux and after go truogh teh signal than ur mixer which is not to good i think (i try be maximalist) buy an external RIAA corector (just good not buy toy) liek this:

i buy one from this at 91usd (usualy price between 50-450usd depending who sell it) its a symetric device but u can use in asymetric mode and choose card for 110bux. (this riaa corrector better than any mixers built in one). later if have more money try pick up a Motu 1224 system from ebay or anywhere.

like this if need digital in/outs with analog but i prefer the Motu 1224 its around same price.

or send it to me and i can caprute the vinyl if its really important or maybe not need send the disc cos i have some tousands of 12″ maybe u want same what i have…

i use audigy and dj console
and i must say that both work very well for me
the console is cool cauze u can use it even wit an old notebook witout loosing quality in recording
a must buy in my opinion

i use the protools mbox for my personal computer and its great, never any problems plus it gives you the pre-amp, the inputs, and the protools le software for not that much more than for a good sound card.

edirol ua-5 (24 bit / 96 khz) but i’m now looking to get something with firewire. Hopefully.

any M-audio will do great. as long as its a multi-track card it should work.

I’ve been using a PC instead of Mac recently,
just cuz I built a cheap one….

This is the soundcard I use: echo layla 24/96
rackmounted 1u unit
8in 8out no latency….
good stuff!

I’m also wanting to sell a ProTools system w/ the mac included:
ProTools 4.3
Digidesign Audiomedia 3
PowerMac 8600/300
