Look into the M-Audio Audiophile 192.it has a set of normal outputs, and then a set of "monitor outputs." I think you can basically use them as the "two stereo outputs" you want. They need a preamp or something to bring them to line level.inputting them from your amp's line out would probably work, from the FX might work. Rlpaul is right, plugging your guitars directly into the card will not really work. So maybe just plug your hi-fi stereo into the card, and then find a way to plug your speakers into the hi-fi, using its "aux out" or "tape monitor" if it has those. And similarly, "computer speakers" are made with on-board sound or Sound Blaster type cards in mind, not the cards you speak of. The 1/4" outputs on these cards are made with studio equipment in mind, not consumer computer speakers. You will need an adapter to plug your computer speakers into either card, something that converts 1/8" stereo to dual mono 1/4" this may be hard to find. Both cards have one set of analog outputs, and then digital outputs. So neither of them have "two stereo outputs" as you request.not analog anyway. One jack for the left channel, one for the right. The is simply plug and play.īoth have 1/4" balanced outputs. I have owned both the 1212m and The 1212m sounds a tad bit better, but its huge routing and dsp capabilities make it difficult to set up. Should i just forget them and go with the orwellian big brother m-audio? Is just as sexy as she seems to be? will she turn me down? So what are your thoughts? Are the better DA AD converters from emu really that significant? is their driver suport respectable for a chance? Is not that i am completely unsatisfyed with the results, but perhaps a better sound card would give more space, vibrance and dynamism. I recorded this with a SoundBlaster Live! Digital 5.1, third party drivers (kx project) I hate creative and their ****** drivers and user suport.īut all this dont matters much to me if the goods are delivered, whatever the brand.Īn example of the music i would do with it: Secret Crystal Shards I dont need to have an external box to plug the things in (m-audio) and i dont like the way they pushed themselves into being the standart.Īlso I dont trust USB, thats why i go for a PCI card But i have to say that i felt quite seduced with the concept for a while now. I would prefeer 1/8" plugs, as my wires are all 1/8", but all the cards on this spectrum seem to offer is 1/4".Īs far as brand goes, I really dont have any preference. (maybe this is a dumb question, and stereo is the norm, but they should make it clear)Ģ Stereo outs, to plug my pc speakers and a hifi, consumer balanced (i guess)ġ stereo in, where i will plug instruments (moslty electric guitar and bass) in different ways (direct, direct from FX, direct from amp line out, from microphone.) both cards seem to perform quite well infront of the much praised LynxTwoĪlso, none of them specify if their 1/4" inputs/outputs are mono or stereo. It seems that emu has better AD DA converters than but i guess thats not everything what counts, and it's only the meat (or the potatoes) in a soundcard. but i did not find any good comparation with those and the m-audio delta44. I did read some reviews, and both and emu1212m seem quite outstanding. I want to buy a decent sound card, and this are the best candidates i could find on this low, yet reasonable, price range.
