Im looking to buy an audio interface. I have no knowledge about them except that someone told me to buy a delta 1010. I would appreciate any feedback on the topic and on whether to go with a USB system or a PCI system.
compared to my Yamaha N12 firewire mixer my old delta 1010's sounded like mud. I saw "fidelity" used in the same sentence as 1010 above..... not a choice word I'd use to describe one after 8 years of using 3 of them.
I find that hard to believe. I have hundreds of recording using my 1010 and they sound just fine. Maybe it had more to with your outboard preamps vs the onboard yamaha pres.
I've had the luxury to hear them side by side and the biggest thing for me is the D/A conversion. Material I had recorded with 1010 I could now hear things I did not hear clearly before. The 1010 is not bad, it's just getting dated and one area is manufacturers are competing and designing in better clock circuits etc. If I had not gone to the n12 I would have picked up a nice D/A converter at the very least and clock it to the n12.
