Subject:Tips on my setup with acid Posted by: yup Date:7/9/2004 6:44:43 AM Ok so Im considering the following additions to my acid pro 2.0 software: Echo Gina 24 sound card Guitar Port from Line 6 or Johnsons J-Station. I basically like to record songs I write only. I dont play live anymore or need to record multiple instruments at once. Does this setup seem like a good fit for what Im wanting to do? Is latency still going to be an issue with the echo card? I assume it will handle simutanious playback and record? Should I keep my Soundcrapper Audigy card in my pc or will I need it at all anymore?
Subject:RE: Tips on my setup with acid Reply by: spesimen Date:7/9/2004 2:41:36 PM the gina24 drivers work flawlessly with acid 4.0, latency is very good also. it handles full duplex recordoing no problem.. i have an old sblive in my machine solely for the midi interface (and occaisional joystick use). depending if you need midi or not you won't need the extra card... (or you could use a usb midi interface or whatever) don't know much about the particular amp sims you suggested..
Subject:RE: Tips on my setup with acid Reply by: yup Date:7/9/2004 8:06:03 PM Finally some good news. Im already shopping around for a Gina.
Subject:RE: Tips on my setup with acid Reply by: Iacobus Date:7/11/2004 8:30:48 AM Might the Gina be overkill (though great interface that it is)? The Gina has multiple outputs and 1/4" and S/PDIF ins. The MiaMIDI, also from Echo, also has 1/4" I/O and S/PDIF I/O but also has MIDI I/O (which may be useful with the J-Station). However, the MiaMIDI's I/O's wouldn't be as accessible as the Gina's. In any case, you couldn't go wrong with either. Your setup would also be similar to mine, as I use a DigiTech GNX2 guitar effects processor with an Echo MiaMIDI. I love it.

I think the guitar port is for people who don't have a good interface, so I'd say go with something else (ie. Johnston, POD, or the berringer unit). There are also software solutions. Anyway, another opinion.

Ok so Im considering the following additions to my acid pro 2.0 software:
Echo Gina 24 sound card
Guitar Port from Line 6 or Johnsons J-Station.
I basically like to record songs I write only. I dont play live anymore or need to record multiple instruments at once.

Does this setup seem like a good fit for what Im wanting to do? Is latency still going to be an issue with the echo card? I assume it will handle simutanious playback and record? Should I keep my Soundcrapper Audigy card in my pc or will I need it at all anymore?
