What Pro Soundcard?

[Paul1971]

Hi,

I'm using Windows7 64-bit SP1 (to maximise my RAM) but my current (beta) driver for my Emu1212m v2 PCI card has annoying issues and i'm pulling my hair out with it!

I'm looking to upgrade to a more recent pro soundcard, i've narrowed it down to;

Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 (Firewire Interface)
or
M-Audio ProFire 610 High-Definition (Firewire Interface)

Which one will give me the least problems with Windows7 ?

All your input is greatly appriciated

Thanks,
Paul.

UAD
RME
MOTU

If you want to be a real pro, then surely you know you need pro tools HD and the HD omni or HD madi to be really pro

Thats Bullsh*t!

First you'll need to no what you want to do with it. Like how many inputs and outputs.
You probably go for a 24 bit soundcard 192 KHz.
I use the Tc Electronic Desktop Konnekt 6 with my krk rokit rp6 g2 and it's sound great in my home recording studio.
Don't know what your budget is and if your gonna use in your studio or on stage. I would say: Go to your local ''music-gear'' store and ask them and tell what you want to do with it. They will give you some advice!

Greets!

How much do you want to spend? I'd also recommend MOTU and RME over M-Audio, but I guess it depends on your budget.
