It's not hard to recommend a Ferrari over a Miata, of course we'd all take theįerrari.
If someone asks for advice on a $30 card, that is usually in the price range they are looking to stay. His PC is nothing amazing, actually could use more memory for sure. HTHNot looking to argue, just a suggestion. I'm merely suggesting if you have bits of decent equipment, and may want to do decent home recordings, to get something serious, something pro! The link provided doesn't specify, if the inputs are at least balanced RCA's.Ī 30$ soundcard with unbalanced RCA is hardly decent, and won't give him much joy doing recordings. The interface thus should be able to handle that too. So, he shouldn't skimp on the audio-interface either.Īlso, that second bit appears to me like he wants to do more in the future than just playing VSTs. He also has a more than decent TD-12, which is mighty fine (almost a tad over-specified) for triggering VSTs. He has a decent computer, that is up to the task. My assumption is that the OP was interested in something a little more 'decent', that will last him a bit longer.
Please notice, I don't want to argue here, just encourage Garrie to get something decent and future-proof.Įlse, he just will burn money in the long run! Used Fireface UC's can be had for about 650 - 800 bucks. It was introduced in 2009 at about 1100 cash, and although superseded by a newer model (the UCX) it is still going strong and held it's value. I'll pick RME's Fireface UC again, as an example: On the higher end, prices are fairly stable. This is true, if only on the low-budget side-of-things. I say this because, if you currently are not using a laptop, then why buy a USB interface? They are always improving models and the price is always going down, so get a USB interface when you need one. My advice is to get it, and if you go the laptop route in the future, sell the desktop with the 2496, and then get a USB audio interface. Being PCI, for the money, it will be superior to usb and firewire. It's a great rock solid card, and IMO, is still the best PCI audio card under $100. Like I say I am completely new to this, but would like to start doing some home recordings using VST's and back tracks.Īny advice on this card would be great as it seems a great price and has midi in so can plug straight into my TD12 :-) Would this allow me to use VST live without any latency? Would there be any issues using this card. I've got a fairly decent PC with 4gig of ram, but the sound card is just the built in one so I'm looking for something else and wonder what the opinons of the M Audio Audiophile 2496 internal sound card is. I'm just new to VST but I think its the way forward with regards to home studio recording.
