I know most of you laptop producers, whether using apple or pc, use an external sound card module or some kind of usb audio thing. Creative Labs has announced a new PCIMA card called the Audigy 2 ZS notebook that fits onto the side of your laptop and acts as a soundcard.

It basically includes all the features of its Audigy 2 predecessors with 7.1 ch sound and the 24bit/96khz stuff. And it's going to be about 130 bucks in cost.
Any use for professionals like us? |

| well having a 7.1 surround feature is kind of useless for producing music which is nice to listen to in stereo, but most of the time is played out in mono. |

Yes, 7.1 is pretty much completely useless for production. What is appealing about that, however, is that it comes with low latency ASIO drivers constructed for the card. And while I don't know much about sampling rate, 24bit/96khz is good for production from what I hear.
Still, I wish I had a desktop.
Edit: 7.1 is a version of surround sound. It means there are 7 speakers and 1 subwoofer. 6.1 means six speakers, 5.1 means 5, etc. Useful for gaming and watching movies, pointless for production (unless you're underworld and pulling some crazy ass 5.1 ). |
