Oh, it seems that your second post cam when I was writing my reply. Now it's time to start discussing requirements... How many inputs and outputs do you need? Do you need MIDI? Do you need mic pres or just line in? Are balances I/O a must etc.

Those are two different issues. "Better" soundcards are generally more difficult to set up. A soundblaster card should be plug-n-play and if that doesn't work on your computer, chances are pretty darn slim that a "better" soundcard will. Please tell us what's wrong with your current setup or...

You get 2304 kbits per seconds. One byte is eight bits. As we meassure HDD space in bytes, dividing the bits/s by 8 makes for an easier calculation. 24bit/96kHz (24/8)*96000 = 288000 = 288kB/s

You do of course need enough A/D converterd to handle the task. Even the cheap c-port setup supports multiple units, i.e.you can use several c-port setups in one computer, so I presume that most multiple I/O units can do the same. According to the specs, you can have four c-ports in one...

24bit/96kHz -> 288kB/s 32 tracks @ 24/96 -> 9,2MB/s 9,2MB/s sustained transfer rate can be achieved without (too much) snake oil and fairy dust. A modern 7200rpm IDE will do it. Just keep it well defragged. However, 9,2MB/s is assuming that you don't play back any tracks while recording.

*giggle* :rolleyes:

US orders only though :(

$399 seems like a good deal at first glance but when you add VAT, S&H and VAT on the S&H, it may be quite expensive. Worth choecking out though.

You're the best! We just talk (write actually) - you listen. Cheers /O

Imagine that, 80,000x write 40,000x rewrite 500,000x read Those discs will be spinning...

I think they have the best deal at the moment.

As far as I could tell, VAT was included in the DM and € prices. S&H = shipping and handling.

This place sells it for US$499,- including worldwide shipping. I bought mine from here. Remeber to add VAT to that price though. DM798,- plus S&H at www.thomann.de http://www.netzmarkt.de/thomann/artikel-142829.html €468,- plus S&H at www.musicians-gear.com...

Only problem is that it will take fourteen weeks to defrag :rolleyes:

Oh, sorry. SW = Software. Regular soundcards have two outputs: one left and one right (for stereo). Studio soundcards can have more outputs so you can play four separate tracks from your SW to your four track recorder. I don't see the point of doing that though. It would be better to record and...

You need a soundcard with 4 outputs. Your current SW will most likely do just fine (what are you using?).

Sorry about posting such a boring answer but search the web. This is explained in a gazillion places.

I use it ony my daughters old 133MHz and it's definetly faster than a regular 98. So yes, it's good on old crap machines:)

I use 98lite for gaming. I do all work and recording on 2000.

No worries, I only have 12 left to download. Then I'll see if I can even tell the mics apart with my setup. /Ola
