I want to take live on the road and the laptop that I have (company issue Dell) is poverty spec and makes it impossibe to use live with more than 1 channel when cueing and it also makes some strange buzzing sound when the adaptor is plugged in. I was wondering if anyone could recomend me a good external sound card that doesn't cost the earth??

I've heard you can get these for as little as $79.

Athough I would recommend using the Asio4All drivers instead of the Creative ones.

That sound card only has one output I still can't fathom how I will be able to use a master output (probs going to a Mixer) and be able to cue without the crowd hearing me cueing up the tracks/loops.

It comes with an adapter, which then gives you up to four separate(stereo) analog outputs. At up to 96Khz each.
