PLEASE, IF YOU KNOW A LOT CONCERNING SOUND CARDS, READ ON!
Okay... I really need advices...
So far I looked at pretty much everything that is a soundcard, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
I have bought a microphone and want to plug it via a 1/4 to 1/8 jack and a DI box. No pre-amp. Never used a mic before, I'm thinking of using a software's amplitude. I will also buy a nice pair of earphones.
Right now, I have a SoundBlaster Live! and I would like a better card for nice playback and recording without resampling.
X-PLOSION from Auzentech seems like a good card, DOES IT RESAMPLE? It's X-Fi after all, no?
M-Audio Revolution 5.1, even though it offers surround sound which I don't need, seems like a good choice?
Emu 0404 is not available here in Canada. And I don't think it could compete with other soundcards performance-wise.
Does EAX 5.1 stands for 5.1 speakers???
What do you suggest? Are there better choices? Maybe a sound card with a 1/4 mic in if possible... and can you explain to me if it's worth it to have a "budget" card with 192kHz recording bitrate? It seems as if it's best avoided because of the noise it generates... please help
Thank you : )
