if you're asking this question, the best sound card you
could go with is just a sound blaster live platinum--if
you're looking to eventually start messing around with
production. Otherwise get the step-down from the platinum.
Creative just make good sound cards. hoping you can afford
it though... but it's worth it.

i already use my comp for music production. i have mostly
used my bandmate's mac up untill this point and just want to
get my own pc into the game. i have a soundblaster 16 now
but it is notably fuzzy/clicky at times. i was wondering
about those cards that have the multiple in's/out's and
stuff like the event gina or whatever. any good info
websites bout that stuff?

oh,... okay. well i just went to some page describing all
the different cards you're talking about. hrmmm... well i
guess you and i are in the same boat then. don't know what
to tell ya..~~

I really wouldn't consider a SB card for music production at
all. For just a little more money you can buy an entry
level pro card such as the M Audio Audiophile or the Echo
Mia, both with stereo analogue I/O and S/PDIF digital I/O
(the Audiophile has MIDI too). These cards are of much
higher quality than the SB and come with quality pro
drivers, without all the bloated crap that that comes with
the SB EAX games presets etc. I'd go for the Echo Mia,
myself.

Check out the Echo and M Audio sites for more info, and
check out Sound On Sound (www.sound-on-sound.com) for
reviews of soundcards. They've got a decent forum there too
where you can pick up tips.

Er, if you aren't doing music production then an SBLive!
would do!

Hope this helps,

Chris.
