This is actually some of the better onboard sound (for PC's that is, Mac's are usually halfway decent) that I've heard. A presonus or E-mu would sound better but this doesn't sound "bad." There actually is some subtle tinniness in this that, if you have $300 to spare I would still advocate getting a firewire sound interface and using something other than a 1/8" line input. But it is not deal-killingly awful fidelity by any measure.
I lost my tolerance for onboard sound eventually, after getting fed up with hearing my computer think audibly every time I clicked the mouse, for instance. Onboard sound is just like onboard video... as a rule, it is subpar. I don't know why, that's just the rule. I may be more puritanical about this than most... I'm fine with that. But no there's nothing awful about this sound. The mix isn't half bad either. :) On Fri, Apr 11, 2008 at 10:06 AM, Frank Glazer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > well here's my latest mix: > > http://files.deejaycountzer0.com/count_zero-usb_vol1.mp3 > > and the rest can be found via the mixes link in the main menu on > > http://www.deejaycountzero.com > > i don't know anything about sound engineering, so if people are > listening to these mixes and saying "oh gawd they sound awful!" i need > to know. i could totally be missing something completely obvious > because i'm so close to the work, ya know? > > > > > > On Fri, Apr 11, 2008 at 10:59 AM, Thor Teague <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > what's the link? > > > > > > > > On Fri, Apr 11, 2008 at 9:55 AM, Frank Glazer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Fri, Apr 11, 2008 at 10:50 AM, Thor Teague <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > There is no possible way that running a DJ set into your notebook's > > > > line in isn't going to sound like infected monkey a$$.
