It just all depends on what you want to do. Using a mixer? Will you record more than one vocal/instrument at a time? Are you using midi? Will you use an adat? What type of computer system do you have?
These are just some of the questions you need to ask yourself.
As for quality, you can look at midimans website and compare some things with other cards. I'll bet its a pretty decent card quality wise.
Good luck

The D-man isn't shabby. Did you get the break-out box with it. From what I understand
it's not 24 bit but that's not the end of the world. Your still able to get as good as CD quality recording out of it. All the D-man is for is converting Analog to digital and the company that makes it (midiman) makes quality stuff. It's a good start. Now you need some editing and sequencing software a good mixer and a dececnt mic. to accomplish relatively high quality home recordings. You didn't mention what computer you were using. But a good rule of thumb especially in the Ram area is the Tim Allen theory of "More Power"
the more the better. 128 mgs. minimum. Forget about buyers remorse the D-man is fine. Get on to putting the rest of the package together and have fun!

How much is the card?
I just bought a Lynx One soundcard for $450. 24bit 48kHz converters, 24/96 on digital I/O, two midi ports, word clock in and out. Nice card. Go to www.lynxstudio.com to check it out.

Jimmy James and the blue flames was one of Jimi Hendrix's first bands but then again you probably knew that.The mixer is a nice item to have in the digital studio but if your a one man band you can get around it. Sequencers range from N-track on the inexpensive to Cubase VST and Cakewalk version 8 mid range to very sohisticated stuff that is mega bucks. Several HR members have used N-track with good results. I got Voyetras Digital orchestrator Pro with my wimpy AWE32 soundcard 4 years ago and as a sequencer it works well and was easy to learn. I still haven't gotten into the analog to digital audio work yet but again several HR members speak highly of soundforge for digital audio manipulation. There are user groups for N-trak, cubase, cakewalk, and I believe Soundforge right here at HR.com

if you can get cd quality out of 16 bit, then what is the benifit of 20 or 24? also on the box my card came with it says it has a analog mixer, and some effects like chorus and reverb. are these useful or do they just write this to get you to buy it?
