Re: Compile lists of compatible external sound card?


Hi Mike,

I've been doing a lot of looking into this...there's lots of choice out there! You might also like to consider any other intrests too e.g. I do some home music recording, so something like the EMU 0202 interface looks good (good bundled music software, ASIO low-latency drivers, hardware input monitor control..).

If you need MIDI, the EMU 0404 or the Tascam US122 could be cool. They also have phantom powered mic inputs that would enable the use of a good quality measurement mic. The 0404 needs external power, however...something to consider if you are plan to run from a laptop "independently"..

A cheap interface would get you going for sure (the Behringer UCA202 looks like being among the most interesting), but my advice is to take all scenarios into account, and get as close as possible the first time!

BTW.. the small, inexpensive Edirol UA-1X is not usable (without mods) for measurement.

Good luck!

Mike
