New sound card? (need help from people who know stuff)
Bunnyman:
An entry-level card like the Soundblaster Live! Value goes for a more reasonable $30 these days. I like mine, but then I'm no audiophile. $50 will get you the Live! 24-bit, which should do anything you throw at it unless you're into production.
Rubby:
--- Quote from: Bastardous Bassist ---Um... Limited budget, guys. $100 is a lot of bread to spend on a sound card, especially because my computer isn't my primary means of music listening (I have a pretty good two-channel stereo system, for the amount of money I've been able to spend).
Also, I want the surround sound. I've got the recording/two-channel stereo down with the M-audio Delta 66 and Omni-studio breakout box I already have.

Woah, warning pall! I have an M-audio and an SB hooked up. I keep the SB around because it has MIDI ports and neither the M-Audio or the Omni has MIDI ports. Everything works just great UNTIL I try to run alot at one time (ie. Rewire a program). After that the MIDI is fucked and doesn't work properly until I restart the system. Processing the two signals at the same time just sucks up so much memory. Just a little warning.

I don't ever plan on using both at the same time. Heck, I don't plan on having them both in the same computer. This card is for my next computer that I'm hopefully building this summer.

They don't have Dolby DTS! And I am a bit of an audiophile. I'm planning on running the output of that card through a reciever, and I don't have that option with the Sound Blaster.
Anyways, I bought the card (as it's only availible for one day).
