I'm producing electronic music with a DAW, and I'm upgrading my setup as producing music has grown to be one of my biggest passions.
My question is wheter I should buy ASUS Xonar Essence STX or an external audio interface like the Apogee one. An external audio interface with a good integrated mic is a big plus, as I might start recording some simple vocals in the future.
But I've looked around the internet and it seems like Xonar STX is the best soundcard in it's priceclass with good review by Stereophile and a lot of others. Also, I have heard that Apogee only works with MAC. I'm using Windows 7, and my main DAW at the moment is FL Studio 10.
So I'm really stuck at the moment. PLEASE HELP ME !
