Um, the mic input on a sound card wouldn't require a preamp or anything. It is designed for a consumer level mic, for typical user to play around with the sound recorder or whatever. It has about the worst quality amplification you can possible get on a sound card, and therefore is pretty much...

Yes, that's right. Once the signal is digital, the only way to get an analog effect is to convert the signal to analog, apply the effect, then convert it back to digital. This (especially with 16 bit sound cards) is a very bad thing to do to audio. Sooooo, the only alternative is to use it...

check the windows volume control again, go to the options menu, go to properties. You should get another window with several options: select "Show recording controls" as opposed to playback (or whatever). hit ok, the volume controls will change. Now, make sure that the line input is selected...

Personally, I wouldn't go with a sound blaster, it isn't designed for recording applications, although it has been known to work (in my own machine :) ) I'm not familiar with the other two sound cards, I've been looking at Aardvark personally. If possible, I recommend you get a 24bit sound...

Yes, you are crazy! :) (just kidding) but yes, the dynamic range makes a BIG difference to the quality. To understand this, it is useful to know what the decibel scale actually means!! This scale is logrithmic: 1db + 1db does NOT equal 2db! A useful ratio to understand this is that...

If it's any help, I emailed them a fwe weeks ago, they gave the same 'firm' date of nov. 20. I'm pretty sure it'll be on time. Why can I be so confident, you ask? Because if it isn't, they won't be getting any business from me, it's not worth the hassle!! :) William Underwood

If you're using mikes, you'd need mike preamps as well, Aark 24 doesn't include them (Aark Direct Pro (4 in/out), does though, should be released on nov 20 or so) Yes, you can store the original tracks. In my (very humble) opinion, I'd recommend you get Cakewalk ProAudio, it mixes tracks to...

I know we don't really need another opinion on this, but oh well. Having two hard drives IS more effectient: while your recording your 2 or 4 or whatever tracks at 16 or 24 bit or 44.1 or 96 (or whatever) khz, your working with constant disk access at a rate of anywhere from 10 mgs a minute...
