Okay, so i've been at my computer for like 14 hours a day the past 4 days trying to figure out what to do.. i think i have the solution figured out

I have a pIII 700 Mhz 256 MB ram machine (2 20gig hd's, 1 solely for audio storage)

I dont have enough money for the va's and efx's and such that i want, and i cant get a job (parents and stuff) so i think i have found out a solution...

i am buying a copy of cubase vst 3.7 frome some1, and i am going to buy the VST synth from stienberg (it seems as powerfull as like a nova to me, at least spec-wise.. that coupled with some freware synths and all the free plug-in efx available, and i should be set).. i dont mind using the computer for music, but i want the low latency that you described in previous threads.. so i think a hoontech card is the way to go.

as you can tell, since i want to do everything softare-based, i need to have a soundcard with the low latency drivers.. but since i hardly have any outboard (just the es-1.. and then all of my hand drums and physical percussian stuff, which i am going to record one track at a time..) i only need at most stereo in and stereo out..

i have no need for the 8 by 8 or 40 by 40 solutions i heard you talking about...

what hoontech solution is best for me? i really trust what you say, and your backing a product as your "wonder card" is enough to make up my mind for me.. i am not following blind, its just that i cant see anything wrong with the hoontechs... except for the fact that the modularity of the system is very confusing..

so yea, what parts do i need to order? you said you dont wanna ship internationally.. so should i find a US distributor or have a UKer buy from you and send it to me? I dont need a breakoutbox that is rackmounted for any reason (i dont even own a rack..) either rca or 1/4" or xlr connectors would work.

Thanks Man, i just wanna score my heart into sound.. i really dont get all the modularity of the hoontech's..

aaron

if you need to mail me for any reason please dont hesitate to do so.

thanks again.

almost forgot to explain the thread tittle.. this might be easy for you to get your head around.. but i couldnt find any visual representation of the system, so i need it turned into babyfood for me to follow linearly..

a visual ideaweb or fowchart or something explaining the hoontech system would be cool..

(by the sytem i mean the modularity of its components, not the internal mixing and stuff, i get that)

What do you want to do?
Do you think you'll be needing additional inputs, outputs, ADAT, spdif, MIDI, in the future? Somewhere in the future you might want to use more outboard gear, maybe synths, FX, sample, vocalist (now there's an outboard gear...what's the best vocalist for trance type of music?;)... right?

Sound Track Digital Audio 4/16 ch or Audio DSP 24 (which u could expand later) might be for u... But i just can't see why take something else thant DSP 24 and AD/DA 2000 package...

you should check also the Waveterminal 2496 from EgoSys; it's a very uncomplicated soundcard and delivers great performance for VST Instruments with Cubase (~7ms latency), 2 A/in,2 A/out, 1 D/in, 1 D/out and the price is o.k. (~330 USD), i'm very happy with this card ;-)

no outboard gear 'cept es-1 and my drums.. oh yea, have a singer now, too.. so maybe i will just get the Audio DSP with the ADC box.. i dont need all those outs... can i do that, just buy the input box?

Dr. B... can you do the realtime efx processing? What is the D port you speak of?

ADC box's got al inputs and outs... but you*can*certainly buy Audio DSP of course.theres 2 dig i/o and line I/o... tho K said somethin tho about that card own output wasn't 1st class quality (just for monitoring)...
Check out their website there's for different options. There seem to be quite a few different boxes whixh you could use with that little beast.

I don't know about Isis... but i/o count might be for your taste.

But still price is so ridiculous with dsp/adc box....

You're planning to do everything with sw? Never going to touch hw ynth? not even controller?
I wish you luck on chosen path...

well, the thing is yes, you ca use just the card without the rack, BUT... there is no midi ports on the card, and that maybe very important, cos half the miracle for me of this setup is the slid VST clock i'm getting... - i didnt get time yet, but, mebbe ask that guy Claus who posted in the hoontech thread, as he worked on the drivers etc for the product and is the official hoontech support for europe. - Hoontech do some other smaller boxes that plug into the card - so ask him about a box with just midi ports & mebbe also a better quality I/o in stereo - i'm sure they do one - i also wish you good luck with s/w only, but having said that is it perfectly possible... my mate recently took me round to see some epople working with ninjatunes, and they were using an audio-only VST setup to create the music. - rebirth does work very well, so does neon, i aint had time to try others tho yet... i'm wating for the new PC to come first.

ninjatunes? you're VERY lucky.. the "Let Us Play" videeo is what LARGELY got me into electronic music. (big thanks to rudy who let my bro borrow it)..

cool cool, i will send claus an e-mail.

the package you got was the $500 one, right? And that one had all the digi i/o and the midi ports?

thanks man.. you and this site are a godsend.. (if i ever get it in the big, i will try to be VERY supportive of this site..)

Like k said card itself doesn't have those i/o (except digitals on the daughterboard and usual one line i/o and mic).

The audio dsp card is dort of "base module" on which you can connect diffenerend kinds of external boxes (modulator, adc, dac, ADAT/TASCAM rack) ... or all of them. On their site you can see all the options (but it is quite confusing. patience). One i (and k) have is ADC&DAC 2000.

pick the one that suits you
