buying a new soundcard

Post by simon803 » Mon Dec 26, 2005 10:57 am

I think I've finally given up and accepted that all the problems I've been having with live 5 are down to my soundcard (ie it's totally fine when i use the onboard sound) so I'm thinking of buying a new one. needs to be at least 4 ins and outs. anyone got any suggestions?
17" macbook pro (2.33 ghz / 2 gb ram) osx 10.4.10
m audio quattro or (more often) the onboard card
midisport 2x2
some outboard synths and a lot of big black boxes that weigh a lot and make loud noises.

I ditched my troublesome M-Audio interface and replaced it with Yamaha mLAN. I haven't had a single problem since.

Some people don't have any issues with the M-Audio stuff, though.

what the cheapest (but problem free) sound card with SPDIF for a desktop? I want to use my non-DAW machine as an added synth rack. Any advice?
