i dont know what to say about creative, but one thing is for sure, Cosma used a simple soundblaster(at least from what i read somewhere) and that didnt stop him from making beautiful music...
the thing is if you are going to connect outboard gear and hook up microphones and things like that...
really i cant give you a good answer... i think nolightatend said it best... |

I just bought a terratec phase 28 for 160€. It arrived about an hour ago (woehoe) and i'm very satisfied with it! I had a buggy m-audio fw ap. The phase 28 is cheap, has 8 outs (jack) 2 ins, asio (works smooth!). No more firewire for me...pci all the way! Orange troopa: why avoid sp2? I have sp2 and it doesn't conflict. |

Just for the record i had m-audio audiphile in my pc and had no problems (not the usb one) in fact its a great card.
however I have had a few driver issues with my new m- audio firewire 410 and ,scarily, if you plug it in when its on with the large 6 pin firewire cable you can permanently blow your firewire ports !!!!
however soundwise its fine and once its up and going seems to be fine. havent tried for latecy yet.
a couple of mates have an emu and had driver and noise problems and it took them a long time to get it all installed properly and running smoothly.
Another friend has m-audio 10/10 with no problems. |

Recently we have been using the Echo LAyla 3G. It is a great soundcard. We haven´t had any problems since we have it.
The only problem is that it demands a lot from our pc. Now we must get a new Pci-X motherboard and i think we won´t have anymore problems.
We also want to get a more or less cheap usb sound card. Which one do you think is the best choice for about 200-250 dollars? |

maybe it is the best way...

That's what I've done. Takes quite a bit of space though.
