use windows 2000 professional instead of xp, a lot more stable and works with all audio programs.
great system you got there.
tell me, how much the m-audio sound card will cost you??? |

I have seen it for € 199.
But to be honest I am not sure if I want this card. I know it is good, but do I need multiple outputs or do you think it is unnecessary because you already have a mixer in cubase/
(thanx for the fast reply BTW) |

| i think you should have multiple outputs no matter cubase or other sequncers has their built in mixer, but this is my opinion and i'm a noob! |

Get more RAM... if you can that is.
512 is enough but these days I would say go ahead and get a Gig. |

It doesn't have multiple outs. It only has the one stereo out. The other outs are the S/PDIF out and the midi out. |

I'd agree with this. Especially if you're going to use a sampler or synth (like Atmosphere) that loads stuff into memory rather than streaming off disk. You'll probably appreciate the extra memory more if you're using XP, talking of which, I have nothing against if you're running it on new hardware. I did have some problems with XP, until I upgraded most of my PC and now everything works extremely well. |

Thanx for all the replies so far. Please keep them cumming. Just another quick question.
When are multiple outputs needed? |
