I was informed by a highly technical boffin mate yesterday, that he had wrapped his soundcard in tin-foil, and acheived a noticable lowering of noise..... you have to be careful not to short out the tracks etc........ dunno how he did it...... also, he strongly advised placing the audio card as far as possible away from the video card..... again this can reduce noise......

well, I started thinking, wether it was possible to utilise a short ribbon cable and connectors to isolate the soundcard in a box outside the pc completely..... ??..... then you could experiment with earth straps on the card to PC chassis etc..... surely this would work, as the cable would also carry the power supply too...... I'd have though it would work, as long as the cable was hort..... but maybe not......I know the Lynex sampler design ran into problems when they tried to implement the memory add on module that was connected by ribbon cable....there were timing problems....... any thoughts ??

Moving your soundcard outside your PC would just be asking for trouble...the timing problems you'd get would be horrendous. It *might* be technically possible for an ISA card - but never, never, never for a PCI card.

Oh, BTW, the shielding and termination etc. needed to keep the data intact is going to cost *lots*. It'd be cheaper (and less stupid

to buy an external sampler. ISA & PCI were not designed for either long track runs or being put through cables. That's what SCSI is for.

later.

Alright, I gotta say it. Vanilla Ice lives in San Diego, California, and drives a white Jeep Cherokee with the license plate 'Yo Ice!' MC Hammer still has his studio, owned by the bank, in Hollywood. A bunch of film scoring guys are waiting for them to put it up for auction.
