Wait until you're at a budget of at least $300-500. No reason to throw away $100 on something that you won't have much of a use for once you get better gear.

Personally, in that range (and non-Firewire/USB), I'd go with a Delta 44 assuming you have a preamp (or two) to use. M-Audio stuff is rock solid and you get a lot of bang for the buck.

Why must people dig up old threads?!

I give up.

The original question was asking how to reduce your latency. It turns out neither of those was the biggest factor and people were trying to be helpful about that. It seems that 16 years of mixing live bands doesn't grant you more knowledge or politeness than "musicians trying to record," eh? The...

Seems to me you were the first one to start being rude when someone gave you an answer that was actually correct (which was it's not your CPU or RAM at fault, it's your sound card). If you can't deal with getting a straight answer that you don't want to hear, don't ask the question.

Probably won't listen but Escape From the Prison Planet is one of the best songs ever.

Make sure you're using the mic in and not the line in

The 8pre is a solid interface.

You need a preamp and/or phantom power for the microphone. Computer sound cards do not provide enough gain or phantom power (if it's a condenser microphone)

You might want to take your own advice.

Or you could... uh... get an interface for the same price and have monitoring that has no audible latency. But, if you want to stay in an ass-backwards setup that causes more work for yourself, by all means feel free.

Then why are you bitching about latency? For 2 years I used an 800 mhz PIII machine with 1 GB of RAM for my DAW and got around 2ms latency without a problem. This is because I wasn't using a piece of crap soundcard. You've got more than enough power to get low latency but won't accept that it's...

I love me some Vaters

Just here to shamelessly advertise my auction. Need some cash for a car, and hoping to get close to $200. It's pretty much brand new and retailed for $250 (but is now discontinued). Free shipping for any HR-ites in the US :P

Desktops are much easier to get to play nice with hardware.

A cozy 15'x18' storage unit. Fully carpeted, couch, it's-a-very-nice (at least, for $180/mo.)

Blonde Bassman. Makes my mouth water just looking at one.

Oh dear holy christ that's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen
