I recently bought this soundcard, because until now all I'd been able to use was the Soundmax that came with the PC.
I did a search for audigy on here though, and it seems most people hate these cards.
Why is this?
Obviously since it's not specifically designed for recording I can see why it wouldn't be as good as the cards that are, but what is so bad about the audigy 2?
Will I be able to get good quality recordings using this? (Assuming the rest of my equipment is fairly good too)
And it is obviously better than the one that came with the computer right? so I haven't lost anything by buying it?
From the site:
High Definition Audio Quality for Playback and Recording
24-bit Digital-to-Analog conversion during playback with sampling rates of 8, 11.025, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 and 96kHz in 7.1 mode and up to 192kHz in stereo mode
24-bit Analog to Digital conversion during recording in 8, 16 or 24-bit at sampling rates of 8, 11.025, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 and 96kHz
SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) input at up to 24-bit/ 96kHz quality
SPDIF output up to 24-bit at 48 or 96kHz
ASIO 2.0 drivers for low latency (as low as 2ms) multi-track playback and recording at 16-bit/48kHz or 24-bit/96kHz
