You have the Lynx One card, correct?
It seems like a good product, and will suite my needs.
The reason I'm asking you is, I would like some experienced oppinions from someone that knows what their doing...
Is it a quiet card being it's just internal with no sheilding?
96kHz sample rate is only available for digital I/O? can you explain this more in depth for me, how will this effect me?
No optical digital I/O this too?
Also you are limited to a maximum sample rate of 50kHz...Can you explain if this will effect me much from not having 96khz and how it has affect on software sampleing?
Its digital I/O can, by contrast, be used at rates of up to 96kHz,
What is the digital I/O used for in general, so same goes for this...?
Can it use ASIO 2 to bring Cubase to that extra level...?
So in general, what do you have to tell me about this card...?
Any problems, reasons or regrettes to not get this card..?
I'd really really like to know!
Please...respond ASAP, thanks!
 
just putting it up top...

............................................help!
 
Priz,

I use the Lynxone card.

I just recorded this the other day as a demo for a girl who sings country.

Keep in mind that I ues a NT1, so it would sound better with a better mic. I'm also using a Mackie 1202 mixer on this with the XDR pres. FYI, This is just a simple demo.

Oh yeah

Hey,

This was not done in a good room. This was done with the TV and rugrats in the next room screaming. I think after I build my studio and get a better mic this will work fine. Of course wait for Ed's reply since he knows about the specs.....
 
One more thing

ON this recording there are only two tracks.

One is guitar and vocals
The other is a cheap Casio keyboard.

So no the guitar wasn't properly miked.
 
Dang!

You know what, I don't got a soundcard!
I didn't buy one for obvious reasons. I really wish I could hear it. I'm sure it sounds good, it's been reviewed as great from everyone in reviews and forums for sound, in fact better than the delta 1010. I'm more worried about the little things, besides country is far from hiphop, so I dought I could really tell that well if it was for me anyways...
just give me your word if your happy with it or how good you think it is from your experiences.
I didn't even get speakers either, becasue I wanted more for my monitors.
thanks for the effort though...
 
Digital I/O can be used for a number of things:

If you have outboard A/D/A converters

A DAT player

A stand alone CDR recorder

A digital mixer

etc.....

It allows you to transfer from one device to another in the digital realm instead of having to do a D/A then another A/D conversion to get to another digital device.

I use my Lynx's digital I/O if for instance I want to transfer songs from a CD or if a client brings me a DAT tape they want me to edit of master on the computer.

The Lynx card will support 96KHz sampling rate IF you have another digital device like an outboard converter that has 96KHz features. The Lynx's card's own A/D/A converters will work UP TO 50KHz sampling rate. You will primarily though use only 44.1KHz and 48KHz with most audio. The 50KHz capability could be useful for some things, but those are rather dry and complicated subjects that I don't have the energy to explain.

I believe the Lynx has ASIO 2 drivers. This card has device drivers that will work on ALL Windows operating systems, yes, even the soon to be release Windows XP.

The card is very quite. The converters sound outstanding! I am still very impressed with their quality and so are others who have listened or worked with this card. Forget specs, this card sound very nice!

Lynx offers excellent and knowledgable technical support (the owner of the company replies to most email questions and is a swell guy.)

Not much more to say about the card. It is an excellent soundcard for $400. I would have gladly paid more for this kind of quality, but am thankful I didn't have to....;)

Thanks!.............but,

You forgot the most important question...
What are the benefits of 96khz over 50khz? I know 50khz is enough, but does it make a difference.
It just feels strange getting a card that has 50khz when almost every other card has 96khz. The quality of the card is supposedly above most others, but is has an inferior stigma sticking right out and I can't ignore it.
Basically how does higher to lower khz affect the sound.
Don't be afraid to scare me away from a good card, I need to know I can't get over the 50khz...isn't cd quality like 40 something, that might help.
okay...that is it. oh yeah, when you said the card was very quiet, did you mean the card didn't make any noise, or the card didn't pick up any noise from the computer etc? :)
I've already made up my mind...
400...that's less than I thought too.
 
oh, sorry for being an idiot...

I asked the exact same question below so nevermind, it's all good in the hood :)
 
I have gotten away with using a card that only records up to 48KHz sampling rate for well over a year and a half now and those that listen to my work are not complaining.

Truthfully Priz, with some of the questions you are asking around the BBS, I don't think the difference between 48KHz and 96KHz is going to impeed you in any way.

Ed
 
Hey JerryD don't take this the wrong way but Autotune is only like 200 bucks seems like it would be a good investment for you...
 
Thanks .

Thanks Gidge.

I will add it too my stash.....

I need all the crutches I can afford.
