Well iv told you my story Maor.


For the record on here tho, my story..

I was running the machine with the audigy 2 zs. When i would get halfway through my projects lots of popping occured..and stuttering it was unpleasent and i couldn't work with it as when i rendered or did a mixdown it would come out with all the popping..this was useless..
i tried all the audio modes avaible to me in the audio options...and none of them would fix this problem. Luckly i had a STA Media 7.1 rack lying here, so i swapped them over..now when i used it i was still getting popping but then i went to options and found a mode called ASIO Multimedia, i switched over to this mode and popping is gone and perfomance is absolutely excellent.

I have a Audigy 2 zs platnum pro and it's fine. The only time I get popping is because my processor is to slow. But when I mixdown my mix it doesn't still have the popping in it.

Oh yes the ASIO with the audigy 2 zs is about 50ms it works great for me..

I have the Creative AC97... Pretty shitty card but I also put in the prefences on ASIO Multimedia and every thing works great exept of the delay of a half a second...

I use the Delta 44 and it's alittle perfect.

No problems with it at all.

I got the Delta 44 for christmas after 6 months of wait (I was broke :P )

It works like a friggin' charm! I haven't been producing alot for the past few days (christmas + study, my exams are right after x-mas ), but I can get several instances of Zeta+ going with a lot of polyphony, plus the delay is so small that I can run my guitar into it and use VST effects on it, then route the output back to my amp, and I have less than 2ms delay and no crackle

Anyway, it's a great card, I'm using it alongside my Creative Live 5.1 (with Kx drivers, it's like the poor man's M-Audio card ), and so far I've had no trouble

i dont have a delta 44, i have a delta 1010 but the delta driver set is universal. i must be the only person that has a problem with it. the ASIO drivers crash my PC when CPU load is over 90%, regardless of the buffer size. aside from that they are fine. i can usually work with 1 ms latency up until about 60% CPU load when it needs to go up to alleviate the pops and crackles. aside from that the only major problem i get is a MIDI related one.

thats the sound of my virus fucking up pretty bad cuz my 1010 doesnt keep midi clock so good. i dont know why. i contacted m-audio twice about this but they fobbed me off both times.

either way, m-audio's ASIO drivers are far and away better than creative audigys for producing. although i would consider other budget soundcards from say edirol. its at least worth checking into rather than finding yourself running into problems a year down the line when you need it to do something and it fucks up.

Ive had the Audigy ZS Plat Pro for almost a year now and I have it running on 10ms, and its brilliant...even with loads of cpu eating VSTis all playing at once.

The only way your going to get popping sounds is by having the latency too low, or having a PC that is just not up to it.

ah yes, but there is a difference between the plat pro, and plat zs. personally, i've only used m-audio for soundcards (revolution 7.1, audiophile pci 2496, and delta 10/10) and i've never had problems with any of them. i've looked at the specs of the audigy 2 plat. pro and they seem to be pretty good. i'm actually thinking of picking one up because its an external box, which would be a lot more convenient for me.
