8 in 8 out soundcards

[eyes without a face]

im lookin for advice on wot card to get (again!) and ive been advised that 8 in 8 out or higher is the route to take



ive been lookin at this



www.digitalvillage.co.uk/...uctID=2652



would anyone recommend this card or any others????

[MARKEG]

yup, that's a beauty... lots of ppl like that card...

[eyes without a face]

and im guessing that the 8 outputs could go into the 8 channels on a mixer, and the outputs on the mixer would go into the inputs on the card?



until i can afford to buy some instruments that is

[eyes without a face]

sorry i meant 10!



also, i presume i would still b able to use my computers speakers for monitoring until i can afford to buy some proper monitors?

[MARKEG]

your computer monitors would be fed from the output from the desk. the outputs of the card go into the desk. you can plug whatever you like into the card inputs, to sample things into your computer. you can, if you so wish plus the outputs from the 'buses' of your desk into your soundcard input to 'resample' certain outputs of your soundcard.



hehe... soundz complicated but you'll get it when you get your set up...

[eyes without a face]

kewl. so the outputs are connected to the desk and the inputs are left free until u connect something up, leaving space for up to 10 instruments/sampler etc to b connected? sounds sweet!



starting to understand this a bit better now me thinks!

[MARKEG]

that's the one!

[eyes without a face]
