Sound card recommendation

neodjandre · 19 Feb 2007 at 09:58

Hi,

Could you please recommend a nice sound card for around £150 with mic pre amplifiers. I probably need to connect a couple of mics and guitars at the same time... Also I will need at least 4 stereo outputs!

Thanks a lot

i was thinking about that as well but does it have mic pre amplifiers ?

also there is delta 66 with digital i/o ... do i really need them? my mixer supports digital connections

if you want pre-amps then maybe a mobile type device

the delta 1010LT

seems to be what i want delta 1010... however it says on the specs it is unbalanced.

my mixer has only RCA input connections which might turn in my favour because that means i don't have to buy extra cables and adaptors...My mixer is a Xone 3D which also has a built in soundcard but it's connected to my laptop..

is that a big issue for recording in my room you think ?
