If you do have a creative card get the KX audio drivers

I have no probs with my LIVE platinum

having n audigy 2. i think they're quite capable.

24 bit/96khz play back. though it doesn't record with that same quality :/ card comes with asio drivers [least i think, unless i installed some kx ones a while back that my memory fails to remember] which provides latency of 10ms on the busiest of tunes. it can get get to 2-5ms with simpler tunes. taking into account i have half a gig of ram and a p4 processor however. 10ms isnt so much fun with the midi keyboard/controllers however, but its doable.

the creative cards aren't that bad. depends on what you want. install a 6.1 speaker system on it, and you're laughing. but if ur primarily focusing on production, then invest in something else.

as cliched as it may be
its the cook not the kitchen.
so make do with what you can or what's within ur budget.

edit:

sorry cam, didn't buy the card online.
literally picked it up overseas.

Creative Audigy 2 - $180
M-Audio Audiophile 2496 - $200-220 from US

If you're considering production don't even think twice

Since most decent motherboards have 5.1/6.1 sound integrated you can always disable one of them depending on what your using it for


10ms latency would have me wanting to stab people

This site has the Audiophile for $149.95, they ship overseas but you gotta photocopy your credit card and ID and stuff.. too much trouble i think.

But im looking at Online Australian sites and they have the Audiophile from 600 dollars upward.

Maybe not such a bad idea i think from the above site.

Though Ebay Australia have it for AUS$320

Thanx everyone for your suggestions

You're correct, they stopped making them back in the ISA cards, and had a 3rd party building that part of their audio processor.

muli: are u using your card for MIDI? If not the card is fine, it's the MIDI side of things their cards suck dick on.
