Sb Live

[tomy]

hey.......how do u think of sblive? is it ok?

I have a sb live on my dell set-up.
I recorded for a while with these and then I was finally able to afford buying a "real" music soundcard. A Delta Audiophile 2496.
It made a world of difference. I'm not going to knock sb (although many people on this site will), but for 145.00, the resulting sound is well worth it.

Good Luck

You can get ASIO by using KX driver, but it will lock the sample rate to 48KHz, so that's not the only reason. Another reasons are:

-Doesn't support 24/96 by hardware
-It's driver is unstable for musician wise
-ADC/DAC quality is way below any "real" musician soundcard

It's good for beginner (and cheap... $30!!!), it will blow any on-board soundcard, but after few months, you'll want something better for serious audio work.

However, I loved my SBLive! for soundfonts work only.

i am using kx , but i want to ask how to install sb soundfont to kx?
what 's the soundfont name? in the sb cd rom?

You need to copy the soundfont file to your HD, and load it to memory using KX control panel. I think it's pretty easy (the only backward is the limitation of sf2 file size to load). I don't use KX driver anymore but Microsoft's driver instead. However, I install AudioHQ application from Creative's website to control the memory allocation. Once it's loaded, it will remain in the memory until you unload it.
