Hello all, looking for a little advice as regards getting a better sound
quality, recording ability and general less agrivating experience out of my
home studio!
Im looking mainly to be recording guitar, with bass, and some
keyboard/synth/drum machine added in, using my oldish PC in my home office
as the studio. Ive had a lot of problems thus far with the latancy using
Guitar tracks Pro software, through my very ropy old Soundblaster live!
Card. Because of this, and because when Ive been able to get it to record
the sound of the recording lacks real sound (I.E., it really doesnt
sound like the guitar Im actually recording!) Ive been looking at the
best, but within my price range, way of getting a half decent system up and
going.
One of the conclusions Ive come up with fairly early on, is that doing
something about the soundcard to help lower the latancy and hopefully also
add a bit more quality to the sound, is the way forward.
Ive looked at a whole bunch of soundcards, finding two in particular which
drew my attention; M-audio Audiophile 24/96, and the E-Mu 0404. but
currently I am most interested in the Line 6 TonePort UX1.
One of the features on this, asides the claimed low latancy and its other
features, is the software it comes with for amp mods and sound effect
processing ETC. However, as Im sure weve all come across in similar
circumstances Im wondering will this work with JAWS, for, of course, if
it doesnt then I need to have a good think about if Ill be able to use it
at all, as I understand the software also controls where the signals from
the USB card are being passed to.
So, basically anyone any experience of the Line 6 TonePort UX1, or, come to
that the Audiophile 24-96 or E-MU 0404, in particular Using JAWS (Im
currently on version 7 of JAWS under XP Pro SP2). If not, has anyone any
other suggestions, as regards an alternative soundcard/audio interface, to
help get my home studio up and running properly and getting me some decent
noises at the end of it all. Oh, and Im in the UK, which as I found out
affects exactly which soundcards etc are available, and my budget, is
ideally under £100, but in reality perhaps a little more than this at a
push; the TonePort UX1 I can get for around £90, and the Audiophile 24/96
and E-Mu 0404 soundcards both come in at around £60 mark.
Thanks in advance everyone.
Mark.
