Hi All,

I'm running VST on an AMD 1.5GHz 512Ram etc. etc. machine and am looking for a quality Soundcard under �200 if possible.

A) Is this possible?
B) I have shortlisted the M Audio Audiophile 2496, M Audio Delta 410 and the Creative Audigy EX.

I produce all House genres and want to get something pressed this year aswell as doing some freelance stuff for TV so Broadcast Quality -direct to CD / DAT would be ideal.

Any help / advice would be much appreciated. Hope I can post a few choons on here when complete!

I have been looking for a �200 sound card and have settled on a Delta 44 (4in 4out on jacks) the reviews say it has very good sound quality, others i've looked at around �200 are the Echo Mia (balanced inputs)but i was told that they are awkward to fit\setup or something.
the audiophile 2496 is down to �150 and the delta 44 is �195 i think this is a better card to get, the audiophile 2496 ins and outs are on mini jack.
the delta 66 adds s\pidif digital in\out for �275.

hope this helps i'm sure someone will give you more specific advice though.

correction..
the audiophile has rca ins and outs and i didnt realise it offers s\pdif as well, the delta 44 doesnt have midiports or digital.

i'd steer well clear of the mia.....

have you checkout out the hoontech dsp24/96 mk2 ?

balanced XLR connectors on a breakout cable, s/pdif (& midi as far as i know)..... great drivers, and expandable to 8x8 i/o rack as analog, t/dif or adat. Has asio, gigasampler, mme drivers.

if you're doing stuff for tv, just bounce it to a wav file in your computer and then write that to a cd. i don't understand why ppl use external cd recorders. all editing places for tv can take stuff straight off cd. and if you're in a bigger edit suite you can get them to take a wav file as well, which wil be better. and dat is dead as far as i'm concerned. some tv ppl still insist on dat but most will take a cd. btw i'm not talking about full length feature films here. (out of my experience). ask rhyze he knows a bit more about the ins and outs of bigger productions.
