I'm using an Audiotrak Maya 1010 (10in/10out - 1/2 ins with phatom power) for about 2 months and I'm happy with it. No problems till here. I use Logic 5.5.1 and Windows XP. |

For anyone on a budget, I highly recommend the EMU-404/Proteus. For the low price you will get good quality! Its not a dreamcard but it will do in a pinch, or as secondary soundcard : ) |

i will try to be more specific and objective further on..
and it would be nice that all of you that recommend cards do it in a technical manner...
what typ of OS and Cpu and Motherboard
im going to present some cards and elaborate on them....
just to give us a good base...
cards like, Motu, Rme, Echo, Digidesign, M-Audio,
it would also be nice if someone who has a card that you feel is not mentioned, give us a technical review and comments...
do you guys think that its better to link to the manufacturers homepage, to save us from reading things that we might not want to read? |

if you whant to go a bit up the scale go with Lynx sound cards, like the Lynx Two or the AES16. I have the Lynx Two Model C and its the best sounding card ever, in my opinion, and in all the reviews ive read and also in the specs of the card itself! Its juste a bit more pricy than other sound cards, because it has the best AD-DA converters of all.

tribalizer - actually, after reading some about the lynx cards im getting pretty horny...
and as i want a Pci card this could well be it...
but for the sake of the cause i think it can be good for me and everybody to make some comparisons...
i will be back with more meat on the bones... |

yeah maybe i should get a delta 1010 and buy some external mic preamps, and a bigger mixer and a midi interface
maybe it is the best way... |

nolightatend - okej..
im also up for a new one,,, but i need more ins and outs... and i dont want usb or fw either...
if i was you i would save up for a echo or rme card..
the thing is that i want to be able to expand my system to 5.1 so i need more outs, and im planning on recording with many mics at once, and some synths... so i need more ins
so 10 I/O would not hurt...
its very difficult to know what to get... when you want quality...

nolightatend - you read my mind! i was thinking about those expension cards, and a yamaha mixer aswell... hehe pretty funny that you just said it 
anyway hope you sort it out... i have a friend who has both Echo Layla and Gina.. and he have had not much problems what i know of...
i think i will look into your option about Rme and expension card... and yamaha is my favorite brand, i have had no problem with their gear... |
