Can someone tell me something about this card? Will it just replace my existing sound card and does it work good with Acid?
 
The card itself is rectangular and blue in color. On Acid, it turned kind of a goldish green, and then started laughing at me, until I smashed it to pieces. Then the pieces regrouped and morphed into figure of Alfred Hitchcock, and is still currently holed up in my closet. I would recommend mushrooms, as opposed to the acid.

The 0404 is reputed to be a decent card. Other solid offerings in this range would include the M-audio Audiophile 2496, the ESI Juli@, and Echo Mia. And yes, you can replace your existing soundcard with it. It should work fine with Acid. The soundcard simply plays the audio and doesn't care what program you use to do it.
 
Two at Once

Hi,

I was just wondering whether it would be a good idea to use two of these things at once in the same computer if I wanted to record 4 separate tracks at once. I know that I could get one of those 8 track firewire things, but this would be much cheaper for now because I already have one 0404. Would two of them eat up a lot of ram? And would Adobe Audition be able to record from both simultaneously?

Thanks

Where did you come from?
 
Sorry, I know it was kind of out of the blue. Maybe I should have started a new topic for it... do you have any answers for me though?
 
I don't think it's possible unless there is some kind of connector for the card. My old Echo Gina24's PCI card had a connector and an included cable to connect to cards together for 4 inputs.

Maybe you should try the EMU Website.

I don't think the original poster cares about this thead anymore anyway...
 
I sent them the question but my experience is that they suck at getting back on stuff like that, and the people here are much more knowledgeable and helpful. This is always the first place I look for answers. :D

Well you're not getting a multitude of answers here, so it didn't hurt emailing EMU.
 
Current limiations in the ASIO standard and the general implementation make this impossible.

The issue is that ASIO will not recognize two cards simultaneously.

Now, if the card has support to mux its IO so that ASIO sees the two cards as one cards, that works. But two independent cards do not.

Someone has a driver in the works that does bridge this for a lot of cards, btu I forget who it is offhand, and I do not recall how solid the driver is. I do remember it being about $80 bucks though.
