I am going to be purhasing a new card. I want a good sound card for recording vocals. As that's mainly all I do. Currently I have the SB live Plat 5.1 which not all that bad. It was good for a beginning stages. But I want a 24bit card. I use Cool Edit to record most of the time. I was just wondering if a 24bit card can be used with Cool Edit to it's full potential. As I am not sure if cool edit can take in 24bit quality. Also I am looking a cheap soundcard, I have the Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro mixer(pre amp), a RNC compressor, a Shure SM58 mic. So will a soundcard make a difference. I already get pretty nice quality. I just want a little more. I am also upgrading my mic to a AKG C3000 in the next month.
Also if Cool Edit does not support 24 bit recording. Should I use Logic Audio? I have it but I cannot really understand it. I have been fiddling around, reading etc for a month and I got it to work to an extent. I want to put a "Beat" wav on one track. Then with the other tracks record as I listen to the beat in my headphones. But when I try to record on another track the original beat just stops playing. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. But the audio is clear and stuff. Anyways thanks....
