I've just joined this forum and I hope to exchange useful information with you all. My first issue is: I used to do a lot of audio recording during most of my life until about 8 years ago when I stopped due to lack of time. Now I am retired and I want to go back to it as a hobby, as I am a musician and writer, and I want to record my own music. The problem is my (PCI) audio card is outdated, I can't even find updated drivers for it so it is no longer working well on Windows-10. So, I searched the internet for newer ones, but all I found were "Audio Interfaces". So, my question is, were sound cards replaced by such audio interfaces? Are they mostly USB now? All PCI cards I found are SoundBlaster. I remember there were M-Audio Sound Cards such as Darla, Layla, Audiophile, etc. I was wondering what are the good modern sound cards with 2 and 4 tracks. USB would be better as they could be used on a Laptop computer. Anyway, I guess you got my point. Any suggestions would be welcome. I am interest in good, but reasonably priced ones since now I am just doing it for a hobby. Thanks in advance.
