pc sound card ?

[L'argonauta]

Hi guys , i visited last weeks this forum and i found it full of professional advices and tips for recording audio.
I started these months to build my personal home studio with a PC ( i use a pentium4 3.2 ghz , 1 gbyte ram , cubase sx with tens of plug-ins, sm57 microphones...).
I need to know what model of sound card i have to buy (of course no-internal , 24-96 recording , with less latency possible ) .My price-limit is 350-400$.
Thank you.

try M Audio Delta 10/10 rack version , about $450, a friend of mine has this card , works fine.

I'll vouch for the Delta 1010. Own it, love it... but you'll also need at least a decent 8 channel mixer to use it properly because it doesn't have XLR ins.

If you don't need that many inputs (8 analog, 2 spdif) you could get something less expensive and maybe buy another mic or something with the rest of your budget.

There's a "blem" model on sale at MF for pretty cheap, but I'm not sure if "blem" means "a few scratches" or "run over with a truck, covered with elephant turd, and lit on fire." Caveat emptor, yo.

wow bs, are you just dispensing latin consumer advocacy with a modern "hip hop" flair, or putting forth your vote for the title of the next Limp Bizkit album?

as for the subject of this thread... i have an M-Audio Delta 44 card and break-out box for trade if you or anyone else is interested.. there are up-to-date Windows XP drivers for it available on M-Audio's site i believe.... and for OSX as well. i never used it.. just check that it worked. not interested in money... hell, make a good enough story up and i'll probably give it to ya!

You know why I would want it? Not only because I NEED IT, but because JAMES FUCKIN MURPHY GAVE IT TO ME. How cool is that shit. I don't really have a good story though... But I am using some really horrible equipment to get this sound http://www.hxcmp3.com/bands/13325/

That's all I got..

Argh I just bought an audiophile and now you're giving away a delta for free!

[DIOBOLIC5150]

NO, I REALLY DO NEED IT!! HAHA!! HELP!!!

 

[DIOBOLIC5150]

Actually, the real reason why I need it it because my wife and I have a newbord son, I have no money for gear, I use a SB extigy soundcard and I know I could sell the PACKAGE the soundcard came in from "James Murphy" for 3 billion dollars on Ebay. MWAHAHA!!
J/k

Okay, so the reason why I need a Delta 44 card is because I gotta record my roommats emo bands. Actually one sounds emo the other sounds like noise emo with a tiny bit of "we dont' practice and we want a live sound." I've been working late nights at the factory so I can afford the Delta 44. I mean, over time isn't easy and plus I'm trying to adopt kids from all races/genders. Why? So I can have backing vocals on the emo tracks. Nothing like kid gang vocals for those empowering emo words. Plus with the Delta 44 I hear I can get a $1,000 off a Real Doll. I know thats like taking off the shipping for one but its a Real Doll. A Real Doll and a Delta 44. Also I would be recording emo with something James Murphy has touched. The last time anything like this has happened is when I bought a Sanamp PSA-1 off ebay from Lyle Workman. I mean, I didn't really keep the PSA-1 for long, but dammit man. True story I'm telling you. All I need is this thermos and this chair and this statue and I'll go,
that's all I need. True story. I swear. Okay, plus if you give me the Delta 44 I will send you both their demos. End plee for free sound card.
