yeah, but you buy crap, you get crap results. the sound card is the one of the most important things you can buy for your studio, after the computer, and the DAW software, maybe more important than your speakers. why cheap out on a cornerstone of your studio?

bad advice man, just because you have it doesn't mean it's a good card.

/just sayin...

Sorry to keep bringing this up - but the u46dj is cheap as chips and money well spent. Last night I got my Mixvibes/Deckadance set-up working with 1ms latency.

1ms!!! I couldn't tell that I wasn't scratching real vinyl.

I paid less than £50 for that soundcard at Thomann!!!

I agree TD, but in keeping with the title of the thread - they want USB and they want inexpensive.

I'm trying to convince myself to buy a Multiface II system, it's just hard to cough up the cash sometimes.

So far, so good.

Forced to use ASIO drivers unless you want only 2 inputs & 4 outputs (2 analog & 2 S/PDIF) in MMX/DirectX mode.

Seems to be decent so far, have much more testing to do. Should have a good idea by the end of the weedend (yes, it was intentional!)
