Question on Sound Blaster Live value

[Wonder]

How do you rate the sound blaster live value for vocal recording, audio recording (external keyboard/synth via mixer) and general audio input/output???

Is it good, bad or what???

It depends on what you're comparing it too, but in general, it's bad

It's consumer grade. You can definately get very passable results with one, but they're nothing to write home about. If you already have one, use it. If not, look a bit more. Search this site for threads on sound cards. There's about six weeks of solid reading on the subject.

Track Rat is right. It's certainly OK as a beginner card to get your feet wet. I still use one to do things like transfer old cassettes to CDR. But for making new live recordings, it's limited.
