I know what I'm talking about, read:
http://www.soundonsound.c...es/creativeaudigy2.asp
Not sure why you would post this link. Yes - it does prove to the S/B uneducated that this cart can record 24/96, and does have multiple ins/outs - but in the end, the review also recommends a low end pro card (aging Echo Mia and AP24/96) to be a better choice for semi-pro use - which is all many of us are trying to say. Not to mention - this article is 8 years old.
If you are have having great success with the SB, then that's wonderful! There are others here that agree with you, and there are some that don't. It's the different views that makes these forums a better place, as long as confrontation is kept out of it. Personally - thanks for educating me that S/B actually does have some serious cards - but to be honest, I would rather spend that amount on a semi-pro card before I spend it on a S/B.
Respectfully, can't we just agree to disagree on that? It's not a matter of right vs wrong - it's just a difference of opinion.
very well said. bravo.

Their ASIO driver doesn't support 44.1/24 which would be a real deal-breaker for me!!!
Thats not a big deal, an they do supporting by re sampling , and of course you can resample and changing bit depth better in a dedicate software, like pros do all the time, at the end the most common format its still 44/16, so thats not an issue
That is the issue.
it's not that you can't make good recordings with a SB card. you can - and you know that. but why pay for an SB card that can't support ASIO 44/24 to make mixing better after your recording is over?
Because its support 48/24 and 96/24, not need it!

Yeah, unfortunately a forums its about opinions, thats why so many people talk without knowing, but real life its about experience and facts:
This are some production that I made in Cuba a few years ago with a Audigy Platinum 2 at 48/16(not the Ex)
http://cgmpro.webs.com/1_Like%20a%20coin.mp3
http://cgmpro.webs.com/Peligro.mp3
Are compressed and normalized for the web, so if anyone thinks thats have something much better than this,with whatever equipment you have, please show me, later I will show you some originals as a challenge.

in the middle of putting my PC together on www.buildyourbox.co.uk dont know whether to buy an asus xonar or a creative soundblaster soundcard. Wich is better and does it make a difference??
Dan, just for reference as the boxes you are looking at don't look all that good value to me, never mind the soundcard have a look at what is available in a similar price range for a purpose built DAW machine from one of the best manufacturers out there. http://www.studiocat.com/2/index.php/Pro_Studio Just over £1000 for an I7 950 studio machine has got to be much better value than you are looking at there even with VAT and shipping on top.

I have no intention of starting a fight with you about who's right or wrong. For you 24bits isn't important because you never had the option of working in a 24bit headroom. You are very often referring to the pros and how they work. I'll tell you one thing for sure. There's absolutely NO pro anywhere in this galaxy producing music with a soundblaster card!!! p.s next time you want to show your mixes as an example of audio quality to anyone, between us, don't do it using the mp3 format. that just shows how ignorant you are about what audio quality actually means!
sincerely, Ioannis Windows - some Dual Core CPU - a little bit of RAM - not so bad soundcard - i think it's called Sonar - a silver mixer with colorful knobs - black speaker monitors - my ears some work

Don't be a looser coward and do not mislead my words, I'm not telling in anywhere that a 24-bit headroom is not important (as has my DIGI, my Tascam and my new Audigy SZ have) p.s Between us,I use the format that I f... want , don't talk more crap and show me something tangible...and there is more possibilities of pro out there using soundblaster as a sf2 hardware sampler than using 2 channels mboxes
