Soundcard recommendations?

I have a VAIO (macs are for fags. see: their commercials)
on the way.

From what I understand, there is no way of getting an
INTERNAL soundcard. Is this 1000% true?

I'm looking for something with multiple 1/4" inputs and
outputs and virtually no latency.

Any ideas?

you just wait right here, i'll go and fetch the others,
they'll be eager to find out the good news!

this might help.

it all depends how much you want to spend for it. in this
topic i linked above there are interface for 250-300
dollars.

internal is in fact true - there is no option to change it.

but there is this pcmcia interface you have on the left (i
think in vaios on the right - that broad slot that is
covered with a plastic shield) where you can stick one of
the following cards:

didigram v2
digigram 440

the v2 might be interesting for you - the 440 is so
completely overpriced and it has only xlr ins and outs that
you rather just look at it and then forget it.

echo indigo io
echo indigo dj

two interesting interfaces - the echo io has one small jack
in one small jack out, the dj one has two small jacks out.
nice is this hardware volume knob which can come in handy in
a live situation. those interfaces are really nice when it
comes to sound but i have no idea how it does look with
performance. i now lackluster has one of those.

e-mu 1616 pcmcia

one of my personal favourite soundcards. you stick in the
pcmia card and already have one small jack stereo out and a
whole dsp platform (hardware accelerated effects than don't
use up your processsor like reverb) and it just sticks out
one inch. when you connect the breakout box you have analog
6x6 ins outs, adat, preamps, even a phono preamp fuck hell
whatecer you wish to have.

and there is also that rme cardbus option but it is quite
obsolete now because rme has already a few firewire
interfaces.

Even though my Vaio is the slowest out of all my computers,
it has never crashed, while the others, despite ONLY being
used for music and the internet, manage to crash constantly.
Vaios are great and they look sexy too.

My pick is the motu ultralite as well. Its a nice for its
tiny size. Its a nice even if it was three times as big.
