Originally posted by HardTranceProd I might. I have turntables so if I wanted to sample some sound, I'd be able to. But, even for regular producers who don't record any external sounds, the sound card stil has some effect on output quality, doesn't it?

It has effect on the quality you hear and thus affects the way you engineer your track. But it has no effect on the actual digital track on your computer.

If one is recording external signals, it's important to have good A/D converters, and for that purpose I wouldn't recommend M-audio products. For pure software producing, they are fine. Their drivers work smoothly, without any problems (at least in the Delta series). But for actually recording stuff, I would recommend something in the lines of RME (Fireface 400 perhaps). E-mu does pack a good hardware, but perhaps it's because Creative bought Ensonig, that the software does no justice to the hardware. They just don't provide stable, solid products for music production, like companies with experience in exactly that.

The point isn't to "get out of your body", it's to bring awareness to your consciousness while you're experiencing another reality.
