Okay, so I just decided that a good soundcard is a better way to get into digital than a stand alone box. Now for the questions.
I see a lot of people like the gadgetlabs cards, how about Aark or Lexicon, or any others? I'll be upgrading rather slowly, but I'd like to start off using my tascam 424 as a mixer so I can be up and running in some capacity. For now it'll have to be on the family computer (celeron 466, 12GB, 64meg) until I can afford my own. Can I configure a dedicated audio HD into the system?
Oh yeah, back to the soundcard, I want 8 input and pref. 8 out. Will my system handle 24 bit?
I've experimented with some shareware programs, but can you group tracks to different outputs of the soundcard to mix at an external mixer? And then can I record my stereo mix right back onto HD at the same time its playing? Or should I get one of the bigger programs that will allow me to mouse mix (something that looks like a mixer preferrably)? I know, Lotsa questions, Any info will be appreciated. Thanks guys! LZB
