Subject:Sound Card Recommendations? Posted by: Bill_Wood Date:2/25/2001 6:22:29 PM Now that Sound Forge can record and edit at higher bit rates than the CD 44 kilobits per second, what sound card supports the higher rates? All I can find are 44 kB cards. Anyone have recommendations about what sound cards support the higher rates in Sounf Forge 5.0? Bill

Reply by: Rockitglider Date:2/25/2001 7:51:33 PM Hi, I've found some better sound cards in Music stores such as, Sam Ash Music, and Mars Music, and some video editing magazines have some good mail order sound cards that do 48000. But you will be paying a higher price for them in some cases, just make sure you get something up to date because thay outdate pretty quickly.
Subject:RE: Sound Card Recommendations? Reply by: billybk Date:2/25/2001 7:54:40 PM I have a Delta 66 Digital Audio card from M-Audio (Midiman) that does 24/96. It sounds clean and is very easy to set-up. They also have WDM drivers(low latency) in beta which will allow input of realtime synths/samplers and also realtime effects and extremely low latency. SONAR a new release from Cakewalk has been designed to take advantage of this next generation of audio drivers. Most digital hardware manufacturers have signed on to support this new driver model and M-Audio has been at the forefront. The final release will probably coincide with the official debut of SONAR toward the end of next month. I have had my Delta for almost three months without having any problems. They also have a website @ www.midiman.com that gets updated fairly often. I am sure there are many other quality pro audio cards out there. All I can tell you about is the one I currently have. Be prepared to pay between $300.00 & $400.00 dollars for one. Bill PS The Delta 66 has 2 pairs of analog ins & outs and 1 pair of digital ins & outs for a total of 6 channels. It can be totally configured via its software control panel on your computer desktop. There are tutorials on the companies web page that detail how to configure all the major digital audio softare packages ( like Vegas Audio/Video Cakewalk Pro Audio and many others) so they are optimized for Delta series.
