What sound card?

**anx** · 19-08-2003, 03:33 PM

i heard connecting your soundcard with USB was a bad idea. id rather use a PCM slot or a firewire

unless, is there a big difference with USB2?

**BritishMurderBoy** · 19-08-2003, 05:11 PM

all the afore mentioned products use USB and both jim and patrick seem quite confident that they work successfully..

firewire is an option for me however..

does anyone know anything about the Audiophile USB interface?

also while were on the subject i am also looking at purchasing some powered speakers.. nothing too loud between 100 and 200 RMS

is this a wise idea? or is there something better out there?

save and go for the ozone for sure you won't regret it.

yes iv just bought the m audio ,o zone and its realy good ,i managed to blag a bargain at my local shop and picked one up for £210 in my opinion these are excellent .midi keybord ,16 knob controll ,loads of other stuff like phantom power ,i dont know ,

but its wicked :lol: :lol:

usb2 is faster than firewire those olld myths about usb audio were mainly about usb1.1 and the first few usb soundcards.

my ozone is rock solid, and i can't wait till i get my laptop properly set up to do some real live pa's

PCI just seems way more stable tho
I have had bad experience with USB

**Jimfish** · 20-08-2003, 12:03 AM

there aint no pci in a laptop dude..

yes, if you ring Digital village you can allways haggle a few quid off...
if you really want to get it cheap start a price war between them and turnkey. I had them faxing thier lowest prices to each other untill eventually Turnkey gave in and i got my Old echo Gina (couple of years back) for £300 instead of £360

ok i think you lot are all agreeded on the interface..

what about some new powered speakers? should i be convinced that M - Audio's BX5 range is the perfect partner or is there something better out there..

**EmotionComplex** · 20-08-2003, 01:46 AM

ive orderd a pair of bx8's, excellent monitors for the cash 8)

**anx** · 20-08-2003, 02:10 AM

**Patrick DSP** · 20-08-2003, 02:21 AM

I DONT THINK HE HAD GOT THE CASH BY THE SOUND OF IT...

oops, soory about the caps..

How much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ have you got??

**Patrick DSP** · 20-08-2003, 03:27 AM

and where do you live too?

and when are you planing to not be home so we can rob you...

**John Vella** · 20-08-2003, 05:55 AM

Yeah Patrick got rid of his Delta 10/10 and sold it to me....

It's great if you know you are getting a mixing console and want lots of outputs....

I can have up to 8 seperate channels on my board designated to their own sound.

P.S Its funny.... Alot of DSPs former gear can be found spread out all over different Toronto Techno people's homes. (including me and Philth) :)

**Jimfish** · 20-08-2003, 12:11 PM

god, you fukin canadians.. you're everywhere!

**BritishMurderBoy** · 20-08-2003, 01:29 PM

well i'd be i'd be willing to spend 200-300 on the speakers.. bare in mind i dont really want too much power as at the momment its not nesessary.. i just want some solid build qualities that i can hook up direct to the interface i end up buying...

**BritishMurderBoy** · 20-08-2003, 05:17 PM

reckon ill get the Alesis mk2

they look like just the ticket and i can get em for 200 just the same as a creative 5.1 setup or something like that

**Patrick DSP** · 20-08-2003, 05:23 PM

yeah that's a good buy

those were my first studio monitors ever (well the mk1's)

...

johnny has those now.

lol

**BritishMurderBoy** · 21-08-2003, 12:44 AM
