So How does Ntrack compare?!

[Tim Brown]

I'm thinking of entering the world of Digital Recording on my PC, mainly for editing reasons.(Cut and paste Vocals and stuff)
I already have a 16 track setup on Tascam DA-38's.

So here's my PC setup.

AMD 350 K2-6 (Or whatever the hell it is I can never remember!Hahaha)
128 Megs SDRAM. 22+ Gigs HD space
Viper V770 AGP video card 32Meg Video Memory.
Yamaha 2x2x6 CDR-W
1 Gig Internal Jaz drive.
Socket 7 M-board(Baby AT) (I can't remember the chips offhand-I built this myself PC 2 years ago. The v770 replaced a V550).
Modem is external.


Soundcard is a Creative Labs 128 (An OEM Soundblaster 128 with 8 Megs for ound quality.)

It's an okay card, but I'm not sure how it is for recording. I've burned CD's through it, doing stereo Mixdowns, and the CD's all sound great, so I guess it's not too bad.

Now. Here's my questions:

Is N-track any good at all?


What kind of Soundcard would I need?
I'm probably looking at 4 inputs simultaneously.

Also, is there a card out there that allows me to use my DA-38's as the digital converters?
(I've heard all about Alesis Lightpipe, does Tascam have anything like this at all for the DA-38's?!?)

Thanks all,
Tim

155 posts and you still don't know that n-Track rocks N-Track has all I need and probably ten times more than that. Maybe it has some limitations but I haven't found any yet. Go ahead and download a demo version and try it with your existing soundcard.

About soundcards - search... It's the most covered topic around here.

I been upgradin CW since 6.0 and was very impressed when I auditioned the n-Track demo. For price and availability nothing compares.
