Well, I've got 2 soundcards....
The one that came with this PC, (Soundmax digital audio )
And a soundblaster PCI 128.
Right now, the soundblaster isn't installed.
I'm guessing, if I want good studio quality recordings, I will have to buy an expensive soundcard and not just use either of these two.
But, I don't understand why...
Shouldnt the soundcard be able to record excellent quality sound anyway? when I play music on the PC, it sounds perfect, well, shouldn't the quality for recording just be exactly the same?
All it needs to do is just record the exact signal that is being given to it.....
So firstly, do I need to buy something better? and any recommendations?
And secondly, there are 2 outputs on my mixer, one for -10dbv, and one for +4dbu, does it matter which of these I use to connect to the line in on the soundcard?
