i just picked up a 3 ghz sony vaio. can someone recommend a good cheap 24/96 card for it? thanks

depends on what you mean by cheap. i would say go for something like a firewire 410. its portable and can be completely bus powered so you can use it anywhere. it costs like 250 quid though.

ok but...who is it made by? any other options?

Echo makes a card that plugs into your PCMIA slot, which looks interesting. It is called the echo Indigo. I don't know how much this costs. http://www.echoaudio.com/Products/C...ndigo/index.php
Creative has external Audigys, which are pretty cheap http://www.creative.com/products/pr...04&product=9103
M-Audio has the Audiophile USB, which is my favorite. http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_...leUSB-main.html

hey thanks for the advice. i notice you are also from the vancouver area =) with no questions asked i will get the Echo Indigo IO.cant wait .will make everything so easy i can just link it to the mixer and im good to go while writing at home. Anyone know if i can use my 23" Apple display as the main monitor for my laptop while im working at home? so i can use both?

Probly can but you might need an adapter depending on the monitors age and so on. adapters are not too expensive so shouldnt be too hard to find one id suggest looking on ebay or maybe going to bestbuy

As long as your laptop has a vga contact it should work.

It depends on which model 23" Cinema Display you have and what kind of monitor port you have, the old ones used Apple Display Connector, which needs an expensive adapter (I believe drbott.com has them) and the new ones use DVI, which your laptop may or may not have (if it has VGA you'll need another expensive adapter)
Emperor
cool thanks.if i need to i guess ill just get the adapter
