Original Message 1/7 20-Sep-01 @ 06:39 AM - over my head...
New to the forum here and to PC-based sequencing/recording in general. Up to this point, I've done ALL my work outboard. Just got a new PC to make the transition and I don't even know where to begin -- figure I must start w/ a soundcard which leads me here:
I've scanned posts here and elsewhere, surfed the major brands, but still unsure what to look for. I realize I'm leaving out all pertinent info -- what would one need to know to help pick out a card to suit my needs? Anyone w/ a soft place in their heart for newbies, please chime in...
;)

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

personally, I have an m-audio delta66 and have had NO problems with it. You could get the 44 if you dont want spdif IO.
youve come along at a good time. plenty of cards sub $300 that will get you some nice results

so delta44 or 66 as mentioned - hoontech dsp24/96 with adcdac2000 rack (yes it's 8in x 8out, but is well priced), marian MARC card... etc
I'd say to use cubase cos it is easier to setup than Logic, but Logic Silver is a good programme and will work ok with a delta card & it's EASI drivers & will sync the mpc if you want to keep running mpc sequences in sync.
alternatively there is ORION Pro which'll be fine, it has synths, drums & sampler & fx included also, & runs VSTi's and will also sync the mpc and now has audio tracks, (not to record to, but to import audio & playback from.) - so if you want audio record tracks, use vst or Logic mebbe -
If you like the mpc to sequence tho there is no reason why you cant run just a vsti & audio playback from the pc in sync with the mpc and leave all the midi sequencing to the mpc.
