Hey guys :)
I'm planning on building up a small studio equipment, but I need a soundcard for my computer, because so far I'm using the onboard of my motherboard.
Anyway, I'm having a hard time finding the right soundcard for me. Either internal or external, but I'ld prefer it to be internal. Here are some needs I need on the soundcard...
+ Must have at least 3 outputs : DJ Kit (Xone92), Monitors (KRK RP5) and headphones (Sennheiser HD 280Pro)
+ Must have at least 1 line in : DJ Kit (Xone92)
The reason why I want the soundcard to have multiple outputs is because I want to avoid audio switchers such as Mackie BigKnob, SMPatch, etc. I heard good things about the SMPatch, but it always goes down to, switchers degrades audio quality, and I don't want that. I'd rather paying extra bucks for an awesome soundcard than a switcher.
I don't need MIDI, the keyboard I'm getting (M-Audio Axiom 49) is USB. But of course, having MIDI can be good if I ever need it.
I saw the M-Audio Fast Track Pro, which is an external (USB) soundcard and it would do the trick, but I'm skeptic (I don't know how to spell it in english sorry) about the latency and quality of the device. I'd prefer to have the soundcard internal (PCI), but I didn't find one with the needs I need.
So, if you guys have any suggestions or even comments about the Fast Track Pro from M-Audio, that would be awesome. Now, I'm not planning to buy my setup within 3 or 4 weeks, but I'm gathering informations.
I've read the review over there (http://www.tweakheadz.com/soundcard...home_studio.htm), but didn't find it that useful.
Thanks :)
