I don't have the money for a good sound card, hence I can recommend what sound card not to buy ;). I've got 2 Terratec EWX 24/96. It's said that the converter AK 4524 should be a good one, so I guess I've got a bad sound quality because it's analog circuits aren't good. next time I'll use my DAT recorders and use S/PDIF instead of the analog IOs of those cards. MIDI by those Envy24 cards is ok, such a card costs around 30,- € at Ebay. You could get it for MIDI, but you shouldn't buy it for audio, OTOH, if you don't have money, get it for audio too. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
