benefits of using an external soundcard :

- standard plugs : TRS 6.35 or XLR ios.
- hence symmetric signal ios (possibly) : far more robust to electrical interferences - when i say "standard plugs", i also mean "professional heavy duty reliable plugs and jacks"
- preamps
- headphones monitoring
- phantom power
- hi-z input (plugging guitars !)
- built-in midi ios
- on a budget : not looking weird to the sound guy anymore, impress the chicks with all your blinky stuff. - now add more $$$ : more ios, built-in effects, matrix mixer with (almost) zero latency, S/PDIF, ADAT, inserts, standalone mode, fireballs and lasers, instant world domination (MADI), more blinkiness.

I know that Pd is processing on CPU and I don't need more than 2 inputs and 2 outputs channels. So... I "think" that there's no need to buy an external one.

Is there any benefit of using one?

I know that this USB soundcard is not a very good one... but maybe it's good for my economy. What's your opinion?
