Yeah, external maybe better. Even PCIE like the Sound Blaster ones would do perhaps. Now if like me you want to really go high end, then a pro sound card or in fancy turms an Audio Interface would be best. I so want the Sound Devices USB Pre2. Thing is, it's $600. But if you've heard the few recordings Neal Ewers has made on BCT on his Sound Devices 744-T recorder, then you know it's well worth it. I just don't have the $600 at hand. By the way, even something like an LS-100 or a Zoom H4-N would be good to. Pluss, theres are stand alone recordes too so you aren't always strapped to the PC if you don't want to be.

The subject asks the question. Is it possible to get a computer with good onboard audio? The last PC I built in 2008 has an Intel DG41RQ MOTHERBOARD THAT BOASTS OF HIGH DEFINITION audio but its far from that. Even at 100 percent I can't get a good level. I've tried several microphones so I don't think the mic is the problem. Are they're any computers out there either pree built or home built that have good level audio? or is it always better to just get an external sound card and forget about on board audio. Thanks. Joe.
