I've just started getting into producing, and I quickly realized my meazly computer won't handle it. So I invested in a new machine, and I think I've made wise choices so far. Now it's time to choose a soundcard. I live in Canada, so keep in mind not everything is available to me. What is available though, is the midiman audiophile 24/96. I've loosely decided this is the card I want. Is it a good choice? I think I'm going to have a computer-based studio as much as possible. The only other thing I might do is record live vocals. If it matters, I'm running a P4 2Ghz / 512 mg ram on win 2000.
On another note, I've been warned to avoid winXP because of stability issues, so I followed that warning. There's nothing I hate more than stability issues. If I could afford a mac I'd get one, but I got my PC at cost so it was hard to resist. Are there any advantages to winXP that I'll be missing out on? I'd like to know because I'd rather make the swap now then later. Now, will I need a midi controller keyboard? What exactly will it do for me? I've been told I'm going to need one, but I'm not clear on why. (obviously I'm new at this). Is a cheap one ok? any recommendations?
