Nov 05, 2004 01:10 am I use a SoundBlaster Audidy 2, because it was cheap, available in my area, does what I need it to do, sounds as good as most any thing I've heard so far, and at the time game usage was also high on the list.

Nov 05, 2004 06:33 am I use an ESI Juli@ because it's a kick butt card, low latency, sounds awesome and has an optical output.
Nov 05, 2004 06:44 am delta 44 for audio, because it has 4 ins and 4 outs, and is stable and high enough quality for what i need to do, and stock soundblaster type card for games and midi usage.
Nov 05, 2004 07:15 am M-Audio Delta 1010 and Aardvark 20/20+.....both with 10 ins and 10 outs. The Delta is superb of the two in my book. Love to try the ESI, looks like it has lower latency then the Delta.
Nov 05, 2004 07:17 am I replaces my Delta (Audiophile, Delta series) with my ESI cuz my matency was HALF of what the Audiophile was. and even a great difference with WDM. ESI has the single most impressive WDM implementation I have personally ever seen.
Nov 05, 2004 07:17 am Ditto what Loki said...Delta 44 - nice breakout box with 4 ins/outs and rock solid performance every time.
Yi canny whack it!

Got it to use with a laptop. Things have changed sinse then, and I am now using it on the desk. Four in / Two out. The latency is decent. I really do dig the control surface from time to time. Fun to work with, although I do sometimes wish I had went a little higher in the food chain and got motorized faders. Changing banks of faders and manualy calibrating the faders can be a pain.
Nov 05, 2004 10:25 am M-Audio Delta 1010LT
8 analog ins & outs
1 digital in & out
1 midi in & out
Nov 05, 2004 10:29 am If you are looking for a sound card, you first have to know how many ins and outs you will need at any one time, from there you can decifer more useful information from users that work in similar situations.
Nov 05, 2004 11:25 am dB,
I know where i'm heading already but wanted some opinions. Thx all.

Nov 05, 2004 11:27 am cool...just tossing that out there :)
Nov 05, 2004 11:33 am Aardvark Q10 ... I may be switching to something that works in linux when I get the money. That depends on a lot of things though :)
Nov 05, 2004 11:34 am yeah, then you only need software that works in Linux, and there really ain't much.
Nov 05, 2004 11:36 am just a thought on the m-audio, didn't they just get bought out by somebody?
that might have an impact on their support in the future (better or worse?)
on the plus side, the price on the 1010lt went down 50$
Nov 05, 2004 11:37 am M-Audio was bought by Avid, the ProTools peeps.
Nov 15, 2004 07:27 pm Indeed, and that is why I am switching to ESI as well. I have their Waveterminal 192M in and am loving it. On my old baox it is running ar 2.9ms of latency and that is absolutely amazing. The card is 4 in 8 out with one channel of optical out and one channel s/pdif i/o on the main card and an optical i/o and midi i/o on the daughter card. Nice price as well.
