What's a good sound card for a new computer with an old program?
I have just recently upgraded my computer to something resembling 'Deep Thought'; you know, mega fast, mega memory, mega bucks. Any way, I am still using my old Home Studio 2004, and I thought that if I bought the Creative X-Fi that I would have mega sound. Well, I was suprised to find that the bugger will not share itself with Cakewalk, Media Player, iTunes etc. And! that what I am recording actually sounds worse (Kick drum sounding like a cardboard box) than what it did with my 8yr old sound blaster card. (Lost it big time with Creative!)
Question is: What is a good card that will allow me to connect my complex midi system together and give me what I want, ie, a relatively true sound?
Is this just a Vista problem with 2004, or is it a Creative X-Fi problem?
And yes, I have dotted all the T's and crossed all the I's as far as system requirements go. Been to lots of forums and done all the things I've read, and still no satisfaction.
So I'll leave it with you folks. Hope you have a solution for me.
Actually gone back to the old system. (Have the two networked together. But that does not make me a happy chappy. Paid $600 Australian. Disappointed!!!).
Cheers.
