audio recording

Hi everyone,

Does anyone here use a Sager/Alienware/Xxodd/Clevo for audiorecording??

 

I use Nuendo for mine.

I use a M-Audio FW1814 external soundcard.

works fine since the firewire controller is good.

 

Hi Gophn,
Looks like a good soundcard to me, what music are you recording with it? Your own or are you recording bands?

 

I am doing some mixing and re-arrangements... for fun mainly.

Its a bit overkill to have such a high-end pro-audio soundcard, you can still do the same work with a more bang for the buck pro-card like, M-Audio Transit... which I have as well.

 

Maybe it is , but you need a good quality card to hear what you are doing.
I do my mixing and mastering using the t.c. electronic and genelec monitors.

 

I recomend the E-MU Tracker Pre($149.99) or if you can spend a litle more the E-MU 0404($199.99).

Both have mic phantom and ASIO 2 support, CS4392 DACs with 112dB A-W SNR on Tracker Pre, AK4396 DACs with 117dB A-W SNR on 0404, both with AK5385A ADCs 112dB A-W SNR, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192kHz from internal crystal, 24-bit I/O, 32-bit processing.

They use the USB 2.0 interface(wich is not as good as FireWire), but to compensate they use low latency USB 2.0 drivers and hardware zero-latency direct monitoring. Windows XP x86/x64, Windows Vista x86/x64 drivers support.

same for me, works great.

 

I took a quick look at the E-MU, but with the RME fireface 800 and 2 connected (by adat) focusrites I can record 24 tracks at once. Not that it happens very often, the most tracks I did at once was 18.

 

But, thanks for the reply! Audigy and jigoo. I'm sort of trying to set up a thread about audio recording here. What do you guy's do with your recording gear??
