Re: Speaking of Creative labs...
Hi Brett, depending on what you have to spend, look at the range of delta cards. From the audiophile 2496, which is very affordable, to the delta 1010. I personally have a delta 1010LT and it's fantastic for multi track recording etc. Just a thought, just depends on available cash, how many ins/outs you need etc, good luck, cheers Steve. - Original Message - From: Brett Boyer bboyer...@gmail.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 11:15 PM Subject: Re: Speaking of Creative labs...

Re: Speaking of Creative labs...
That is USB, isn't it? How is the latency with soft synths? That model goes back to at least 2005. Don't know what they have now. I just Googled it. Looks like they have a Cakewalk branded version now. I also thought about getting an Edirol. A friend has the FA-66 which sounds great but he doesn't do any multi-tracking with it. So, I don't know how good the firewire would work. I might also be better off with a USB version. I like that the controls are all hardware with the FA66.

Re: Speaking of Creative labs...
Hi. Well I'm not the most technical of people when it comes fm transmisions and such. I am a program director / production manager. We use lynxus cards and we have a physical processor. I've been working here for about a year and a half bb - Original Message - From: Sunshine sunsh...@abe.midco.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 4:34 PM Subject: Re: Speaking of Creative labs... brent, can you tell me what you use for yourdsp processing for the fm side of things? - Original Message - From: Brett Boyer bboyer...@gmail.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 5:15 PM Subject: Re: Speaking of Creative labs...

Re: Speaking of Creative labs...
Sure. The stream is pretty good. I'm still trying to get my boss to work on it but it sounds pretty good now. its at: www.kzbr971.com I have programmed the whole station through Natural Music and Wireready.

RE: Speaking of Creative labs...
It also will depend to some extent where the output sound quality is concerned on what you use to listen to it. On a pair of computer speakers or home theater system you may not really hear the difference between sound cards. But if you listen to the output on a proper stereo hifi system the difference in quality may be more evident. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Robert Logue Sent: 30 November 2009 09:17 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Speaking of Creative labs...
