Question: would this soundcard be good enough to produce with cubase? (I only use 1 midi controller atm)

Hmmz I'm really thinking to buy the X-fi Xtrememusic, because someone said this (translated): Althought 110 Euro for the Xtrememusic (without 64 mb extra) sounds much, it's worth all of the money. Because when you realise that professional audiocards, that produce now a days the same qua...

I have a n00b question too...Thought it would be weird to open a new topic for this.... 1. How can I just browse in my folders in foobar? So without adding an albumlist....Because when I add an album list and I delete a file on my computer, nothing changes...Also when I click...

Yes, I want to record, not only midi, but also just by connecting a keyboard to my soundcard (via line - in). The soundquality now is really bad. I want better quality, close to studioquality? let's say around 120 euro.

Hello, I'm new to Foobar (I always used winamp) and I have some questions that I couldn't find with the search-option. 1. Why does Foobar look so bad standard? 2. Is there a tutorial for beginners? 3. Is it difficult to edit or to make a skin? 4. Is there a place to download...

Hmmz yes but when I see this: Quote: Originally Posted by Tachikoma An AV-710 can't drive headphones. I'm doubting...well, I know it's pretty cheap, but I just need a good soundcard for music and producing for headphones. And I agree with your point about the SB/gaming.

My budget is around 100/110 euro

Hmm ok but I don't want an amplifier (not yet) so what would be a good choice then?

which can and are good for producing?

And my budget is higher than 20 euro but 20 euro's is a great price too..but it sounds so 'cheap'

Hmm and what's the price of the AV710? By the way: I want to make a start with producing music too with cubase and my keyboard, so I need a good soundcard for midi too. So a good soundcard for: Listening to music, producing, gaming. Maybe I can keep the sb-live for gaming? Any tips...

Hello, recently I bought the Sennheiser HD555, but it sounds like I'm not using the full potention of it. My current setup is: PC (2.8 Ghz) SB Live Sennheiser HD555 Using for: every kind of music, mp3 (128 and 192 kbps), some dvd's , gaming (pretty much gaming , but more music)...

I own a Senn HD555, so what do you think of that? Would that be a good combination?

hmmz, I'm reading some reviews about the MC CRYPT 2-WEG and they are really really really bad So... 30 euro's for the amplifier only? Do or don't?
