I share Hammit’s thoughts here. About five years ago I bought the
Audiophile 24/96 PCI card, which is produced by M-Audio. I herd so
many good things on this list about high quality sound cards. I wasn’t
disappointed. It was a thousand percent improvement in quality from
the built in computer sound card. The stereo soundstage was much wider
and there was much greater depth of sound, particularly at the low
end. The spoken word recordings I fed into the card from analog
sources were of broadcast quality with complements from the production
team. The 24-bit depth with the higher sampling rate on the card
enables seamless edits without the choppy effect herd with so much
audio these days. In my latest recording, I edited a politician in
mid-sentence so it sounds like he began his presentation at the
beginning of my edit. I edited out the non-newsworthy thanking and
acknowledgement of numerous aldermen. People do funny things when
they see a high quality broadcast microphone, cables, and headphones
monitoring a field recorder.
I don’t regret one minute spending the extra money for this. As a
blind person, my world is audio and a much-improved audio experience
has greatly improved the quality of my computer life.

Yeah, I guess. I was just putting it out there. There are some things that
may be over kill for me too in the end, but I love sound Devices stuff, and
so I figured, that when I can, I'll get it, and therefore have the coolest
audio ever, and I have these other things handy should I need them since
professional recording is what I'd love to do as a full time job.

There's a big difference between consumer and pro cards. It depends on what
you need. The Sound Devices stuff is made for professional recording, and it
does the job well, but it may be overkill for most people.

yeah that's the one I have, I did a conversion project of about 200
records over the summer for an audio archive and that card, the sb x-fi
5.1 pro external usb card, worked fantastically. I'm curious about this
other 650 dollar card though, really? 650 dollars? That seems rather
outlandish, unless it comes with its own rack setup or soemthing.

hi list I have two questions about sound cards.
the first question is what is a good sound card for the PC, I am
thinking about getting studio play list and I am looking for a good
sound card.
my second question is, I mentioned above that I am getting studio play
list and I am wondering if I could use it on my lap top, if so what USB
sound card would be good that's if studio play list can be used with a
lap top.
any way thanks so much, all opinions would be appreciated.
Angel.
