    I can't see why your Soundbalster shouldn't be fine.

    My question is why would you pay all that money for Sonar 5 and have a crappy soundcard?

    Is this a joke?

    You'll need to order a DSP co-processor from creative.

    I think I've learned (also by scanning other threads) to never take HammerHead seriously.

    hi darrell, if you're using a sb that uses the 10k1 or 10k2 chipset (sb live, audigy, audigy2) you really should check out the kxProject drivers which are an infinite improvement over the official creative ones

    Hey! Thanks Pwal! I'm actually using SB Audigy in one of my DAW. I'm about to get M-Audio 1010-LT to replace this one though, but I will give this update a shot so I can just move this SB card to another DAW.

    Check back in when you install the M-Audio 1010, you should notice a difference. The SB Cards are toys meant for playing games. It depends on what you are trying to do and your tolerance for turning your sound card into a hobby.

    I think the word "crappy" for the SB card is probably a bit overdone. Although I'm sure others have had problems with them. I still have an old SB in an older Win98 (yup!) machine which runs Reality midi synth. My main machine is using 1010LT. The thing that I definitely noticed right off the bat was less noise on the newer 1010LT card... The SB card isn't awful, but it has more (and hear-able...is that a word?) noise.

    The specs of a SB Platinum or an Audigy can be compared side by side to some pro-sumer cards.


    Don't go by technical specs - Creative's lousy audio drivers and non-existing customer service are legendary. I learned this years ago the hard way, no piece of hard- or software from that company will ever be tolerated in my house again.

    Don't go by specs, use your ears. There are a lot of mics with the same 'specs' as Neumann and Telefunken that don't sound as good. Same with pres and almost anything. There is more to things then specs.

    Hey Darell, don't worry about it. Napakagwapo ka.

    In the USA we're always surprised to see good looking pinoys or pinays because most of us americans look like this:

    H.

    Belated congratulations on your Newbie. I didn't even know you had your plugin (assuming it is yours).
