well, the rumour is that soundblaster did not relase asio drivers, even the fact that they had it ready, until they released their latest soundcard (can't remember the name) to make them work only with this card to force all soundblaster users that wanted asio drivers to buy the new card..... and still they don't have a clue what "latency" means...

That sucks!!! fuck them.....

I'm glad you're done with soundblaster flutlicht, and all the best with your new card! It will surely handle the job.

Too bad I came in to this post to late not to recon a card from creamware for u... The pulsar and luna II are blody amazing...

The name of the card is soundblaster audigy. Yes it has asio drivers. At first I was thinking great asio support. I got the card thinking my problems were over but no. The asio driver works only on 48Khz. Thats not that nice. It works but thats all. Under windows xp its a hell. Logic audio chases and with Nuendo the sync with midi and audio is compleetly fucked up.

I'm starting to think that I has to get another soundcard again.

Well, although not a 'professional' audio card, I like mine quite a bit. Here's the info:

Philips Acoustic Edge 5.1
SnR > 92dB
48khz full duplex playback and recording. S/PDIF input and output. Midi / game port. Line in, CD in, Aux in, TAD in, Works with all the games I've tried, has 5.1 sound if you're into that, has a bunch of sound modes for adding a more 3D feel to your sound. I got it for $90 CDN (an awesome price!) OEM from a retailer a few provinces over. Sounds very good on my speakers, Monsoon MH-502 if anyone has heard of them before (probably not).

what's your opinion on external USB sound cards, like emagic emi 2|6, or SB extigy? some ppl say USB is too slow, is that true?

Here, check out this site, its amazing:

Go into the forums and post a thread asking the same question, they are very knowledgeable there.

Yeah sunjammer, i wan't a pulsar card... that modular looks incredible


PS: come.to/sblive for everyone with soundblasters... you'll get your ASIO support

Hello!

About the audiocards that you are talking about.
I use echo MIA and I'm happy about it... It gives ~ -90db n/s ratio, and it's good enough for me.. other echo products are good also (Or so I have heard from people who use them)..

SB Audigy ís SBlive with a lot more junk all over it. Basicly, it's almost the same card.. (and SB live is crap for music making)

Cheers!

U know,i recently got that card too and it was a major improvement to the live i owned,now i have both on and they do a good job..but i'm seriously concerned about asio,it's not that great and i think of getting in production for real..me thinks another card will eat away all money left.....damn,shouldn't even think about it!

I have the M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 and I can't praise the sound quality enough. This thing is crystal clear and puts every other sound card I've used to shame. The only problems I'm having with it are driver releated in Sonar 2.0.

I used to have an E-MU APS, which had good sound quality, but it doesn't have drivers for XP/2000/ME.
