Hi, I have a problem. I still use my old Roland Fantom to record sounds to my computer, using an audiophile 2496 soundcard. I use the consumer spdif (rca) out on roland and spdif in on the audiophile. The problem is that the signal coming to the computer sounds somehow low (if I set the gain...

Hi Do you maybe have any experiences with the Audigy 2 NX. I need an external soundcard for my laptop which is able to record digital signal (spdif optical or coax) in 24/96. Everything else is just a bonus. I`m a bit sceptical about the usb2 port and stability of this card, so I ask you for...

Hi I need a SPDIF-In (coax or optical) to USB Digital Audio Interface. Something like Edirol UA-1D or M-Audio Audiophile USB. I find the Edirol a bit old (I´m not sure it is USB 2, and it is only 16bit; i prefer 24bit). Basically i want to connect the Roland Fantom to my laptop computer...

Hi, Does anyone here in this forum use the Edirol UA-1D (USB Digital Audio Interface)? I would like to record the tracks from my Roland Fantom FA-76 to the laptop... It is apparently a bit old (this Edirol) - so probably it is not an USB2 device... Is this bad or has no impact on the digital...

Hi, Is there any substitute for the stupid Microsoft GS SW Synth/Mapper? I would need it, because my Audiophile 9624 doesn't have a GM SoftSynth and because I don't like the sounds of the MS crap. Also my SB Live has pretty bad samples. Where would I found a stand-alone SW Synth (not a VST), so...

Hi, I have my Roland Fantom connected to the Audiophile soundcard via SPDIF coax cable. The problem is, that the signal level is lower than it should be. If I listen to the sound coming out from the Fantom's phones jack, the one coming through the SPDIF output (while using the same phones) is...

The thing is: I would just simply like to know if there would be any difference in midi latency if I plugged my roland (through midi cables) to the joystick port of the SB Live - or if i plugged it to the midi in/out of the M-audio audiophile 2496? Or is the latency the same in both cases? And...

Hi, I have a bit complex question: 1. I would like to connect my Roland Fantom Keyboard with my computer. Roland has all types of outs (analog, spdif and adat). If I understand it right, if you connect spdif-coax-out to spdif-coax-in, there should not be any loss of sound quality - it's both...

Does anyone have experiences with mic preamps on the FW 410? For example in comparison with RME Quadmic or DMP3?

I can get a new FW410 for 333 EUR and used RME for 220 (or new for 380 EUR, in this case including BOB1). Actually at the time I only need stability and ADAT and SPDIF. But in the near future I would also buy a mic preamp. FW has 2 preamps but I don't know how good they are compared for example...

Hi, I just bought a RME HDSP and now I have some money left. But not too much. Could you please tell me, what would happen if I plugged a dynamic microphone directly into RME's analog-in? Would there be any sound, what quality... Or do I necessarily need also a mic preamp? The problem is I...

I will buy one of these two cards. I only need to plug my Roland Keyboard via spdif in the card; so which has more stable drivers; any jitter problems...? Terratec Phase 22 M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Thanx JK

Hi, I wanna buy a new soundcard. It should have ADAT or SPDIF In as I only have to connect my Roland Fantom Keyboard to it. My Roland has an ADAT out and a SPDIF (digital) out. I don't really know; is there a difference between the soundquality if connected through ADAT or SPDIF? I also don't...

Does anyone have any expirience with Superlux microphones? I mean the CM series. Are they good, bad, worth the money...? I'd use them on vocals.

Again, I need help with this picture. Which mic is on it?
