Hi!
I bought me a POD and for the first time im gettin decent guitar sounds when recording direct. The only problem seems to be the recording distorted tones,they still sound pretty weak when i go thru the POD to the SB Live.
Now with Christmas coming i thought Santa COULD bring me a REAL soundcard. I've been hearing good thing 'bout M-Audio Audiophile 2496 but there are some questions id like to ask you before i buy the card.
1. Can i have 2 cards in my comp without any problems,id like to keep the SB Live ?
2.Comparing the Live and the 'Phile can a non-professional guitar player really HEAR the difference ?
3.Will the distortions sound better..its really important.
4.Im still gonna need a preamp when recoding vocals,any cheap preamp recommendations ?
If someone would be kind enough to record a lick or two with a SB LIVE and then a Real sound card that would propably end all these "will i sound better with a new card" questions. This is a subject that has been discussed over and over again but i though id ask you guys. I know that Satan...i mean...SANTA doesnt know a thing about audio...
