I first started computer recording about four years ago. Back then I wanted everything to be legit, so I bought a new comp, got good software, a microphone, a mixer and everything else that is required to do this. At the time, I was looking to get a good soundcard to replace the piece of crap that came with the PC. BUT... I never did and I actually forgot about it until just recently when I sent my computer away for upgrades and the guy asked what kind of soundcard I had and I said I still had the one that came with it. This surprised him as he knows I do music and he's heard a lot of my stuff. He found it hard to believe I produced as high quality a product with the soundcard that came with the PC.
Despite him being impressed (He's a big computer nerd), I just started thinking about getting a new soundcard again. Now I'm not asking what kind to get, because theres tons of info on this board alone, but what I'm asking is what difference will it make?
I know, it sounds ameture, and I'm not new to computer recording, but for some strange reason I never thought about getting a good card for three years.
Don't treat me like an idiot and please list some advantages of a new card.
Thank you in advance.
By the way, the only thing I record with a mic is vocals and dont require multiple inputs/outputs.
