I have searched the forum for threads on sound cards and most of the ones I read were reccommending cards that were at least $200 and up. My budget is a little tight right now, so I was wondering if anyone had any positive experiences with using any sound cards under $200 (preferably under $150) with Cakewalk.
I am running windows 2000 professional, athlon 1700xp processor, 512 mb ram. Cakewalk Home Studio 2002 XL.
The card I have right now is a Creative Audigy, and I think its the model thats made for gaming. The only way I can get the mic input to record is using the Creative sound recorder. The standard windows sound recorder doesn't work, and in Cakewalk, I set the input to the Audigy card, but the record button is grayed out, so I can't even record at all.
I have read that Creative cards are not too good for recording, but I was figuring it would be good enough for demo stuff. Since it won't even record at all, I need to get a better card.
I don't have any particular NEED to have a lot of inputs. Just about everything I record will be me, so I don't think I would ever need to record more than one thing at a time.
Any recommendations for inexpensive sound cards, that you know will work with Cakewalk, would be VERY MUCH appreciated. I am totally new to recording in general, not just computer recording.
Thanks,
Clay
