What is the best soundcard to use for recording?
Well that is, what is the most affordable best sound card to use for recording. Price range $100 to $500, I bought a Maudio Audiophile 2496, not very impressed with it, sound is ok and volume kinda low even though I have all the settings up high. What card do you use?

get an audigy card from creative labs. plus alot is about how good your speakers are.
what program do you use to record, that could be giving you low levels too. mine come out alright using cubase and izotope ozone.

I have the Audigy 1 soundcard, it's ok. Are you referring to the Audigy 2? But the speakers shouldn't affect the quality of your recording.
I heard MACs are good for music purposes.

LOL! Are you kidding with the Audigy? Get either M-Audio or Terratec for recording. Forget Creative Labs!

I'd say go M-Audio just record your mix at a louder volume with the program that your using.

Don't forget the Echo Mia - I have one and it works very well. Excellent sound and low latency. Even the tech support at Echo were very helpful when I couldn't get it to work.

With all the praise that the M audio gets. I have a feeling you need to tweak some settings to make it sound better. Or could be a crappy mixer
