Very true. Creative Labs does not make good pro audio cards. They make cheese video game cards...thats it. Go with M-Audio Delta 1010 or anything by RME. |

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 |
Behringer 700 that 5 channels mixer, and maybe it's the tweaking. :conf: |

its your mixer.
my buddy recorded all of his vinyls to mp3 when he had a gemini. had to rerecord all of them when he got his vestax. the sound quality was so much different.
its your mixer. keep your audio card and buy a new mixer. |

Yea i have a DJX700 also. Sound quality blows on the Recording Outputs. I decided to connect it to the booth outputs cuz it gave me control over the output volume to boost the volume. Give it a try.
Anthony.. why is that?? THats a weird defect. Are you talking about the PCI version or all of them? |

I guess you get what you pay for... no wonder, I spend $200 on a mixer, $150 on a soundcard = moderate recording sound. :rolleyes: |

| Also your needles will make a huge difference. What are you running? I am running Ortofon Nightclubs-S so the sound is decent. I just need a better soundcard. Your sound quality will only be as good as that of the weakest component in your setup |

| Yeah my needles suck, $35 stantons something. I think it has to be my Behringer 700 mixer. I love it though, for $200 you can't beat that.:D |

for $200 you could have bought a numark matrix 3 made by alesis. not a pioneer or vestax, but much betetr then the behringer. sound is better, features are better and its made a hell of a lot better. |
