You have to first determine what features you need, and what you are willing/able to spend. I recomend doing a great deal of research before making a decision. First I would look at some of the mail order catalogs to get some ideas about what is out there. Musicians friend (musiciansfriend.com)AMS-(americanmusical.com) or Sweetwater sound (sweetwater.com) are all excellent places to start your research. But go to the manufaturers web site to get ALL the details. While these mail order companies are a great way to find out what is out there, they do sometimes get their facts confused, or may not list all the features. You can also request a catalog from these sites. I would recomend that you select a sound card that uses some sort of "breakout box" that puts the analog to digital converters outside of the computer. It has been my experience that many of the sound cards that have "internal" or card based converters are subject to noise and interference from the CPU and/or other components of the computer. Hope that helps.

I recommend any of the RME cards or Echo cards. Choose the one that fits your budget and your needs. Norm Stevens wrote: >> There are so many out there right now it's stupid!

There are so many out there right now it's stupid! You
have to first determine what features you need, and what
you are willing/able to spend. I recomend doing a great
deal of research before making a decision. First I would
look at some of the mail order catalogs to get some ideas
about what is out there. Musicians friend
(musiciansfriend.com)AMS-(americanmusical.com) or
Sweetwater sound (sweetwater.com) are all excellent places
to start your research. But go to the manufaturers web site
to get ALL the details. While these mail order companies
are a great way to find out what is out there, they do
sometimes get their facts confused, or may not list all the
features. You can also request a catalog from these sites.
I would recomend that you select a sound card that uses
some sort of "breakout box" that puts the analog to digital
converters outside of the computer. It has been my
experience that many of the sound cards that
have "internal" or card based converters are subject to

Don't get anything with the name "Sound Blaster" in the
name. I recommend any of the RME cards or Echo cards.
Choose the one that fits your budget and your needs.
