pretty upset right now.
upgraded my desktop studio about 2 mos ago and got top of the line everything except i only bought an m-audio firewire solo for a soundcard.
guitar center guy tried to upsell me for 10min on wanting more outputs/inputs. i was like naw, i'm completly virtual, no hardware, this will be fine.
then, for work i go buy a laptop, i DJ here in san diego pretty regularly and i put ableton on it.
i'm thinking well , it be fun to bring my keyboard and go nuts at these shows. i hook up everything today to try and low and behold my f'ing sound card doesn't have enough outputs for me to use the "preview" function in ableton.
soooooooooo lame that i have to go buy a new card lol. sorry just venting. |

| Thats no good man. I have heard many people talk about needing to get a new sound card. What exactly is a sound card and what does it do? :) |

hey man for laptop use go for the:
emu 1616m
i think it has 16 inputs and outputs, more than enough i think, got dsp fx and its perfect for a lap, next time go for this. u wonth regret it. im getting one soon. the card is pcmia, and i can tell u this cards are rok solid. right know i have a echo indigo dj, which is very fun. i also use only vst instruments and a usb midi control, so for now, 2 outputs (stereo) is eneogh also check that out, very unexpenssive and ver effective for producing and djing (live)!!! |

The beauty of todays computers... just change the soundcard...
If its an external soundcard well, where is the problem. Throw it on ebay and buy a new one! |

Default is 8 Inputs. You can get 6 more if you set up a pre-amp via ADAT. |
