In the near future I'm going to buy myself a new PC. I'm going to buy all the parts and them make them into a whole. One of the most important things for me right now is the ability to make music on my new one. So, can anyone here recommend me a soundcard that is real good? I want to be able to record stuff (instruments, or just sounds that I recorded) to my computer in a good quality and all that, and as I'm not too much of an expert I was wondering what the good stuff is... |

... wish i could help, and u'd think i'd be knowledgeable considering i'm currently using 4 sound cards at once on my current p.o.s. but the best advice i can give is to search out musicians friend, maybe hitsquad, and then start asking more specific questions about cards on sites like this, but who knows, u might get some advice here... |

I've always bought Creative Labs sound cards. |

jedi chris, Creative's soundcard is good for multimedia stuff, like games. But it's not really spesificly designed for music making |

creative labs soundcards tend to conflict with creative labs cd drives |

My tracker used to hate my Blaster Live and I avoid Creative at all times now. I'm sick of those guys making total wank. :) |

I like my M-audio 24/96 - crystal clear sound, absolutely no hum, quality analog and digital in/out - but some folks have trouble with them if they have a particular Via chipset on their motherboards. More info . I think some of the terratec cards also have the delta chipset but I haven't heard of them having the same problems... I also hear that Hoontech cards are very good. I've got the latency in Cubase down to 11 ms - any lower and I get a pop now and then. 11 ms is pretty good IMHO. I don't notice the delay. If you want to build a serious music workstation, don't count on using it as a general purpose computer. The less hardware and software you install, the better. Even go so far as to deactivate any onboard devices on the motherboard you aren't using. Are you sure you wouldn't prefer some wax paper and a comb? :-) |

deactivate any onboard devices on the motherboard you aren't using. That is, deactivate them in the bios. |

It's not the sole purpose of the pc to make music. I'll need it for school and all that, but as I'm going to record and mess around with sounds I might as well try to get some relatively good stuff. Thanx for all the replies. |
