Original Message 1/7 13-Aug-10 @ 12:02 PM - RE: Soundcard Advice
Long time since I've been here!
Hope any of the old regulars I used to chat are doing well.I'm looking for a decent soundcard for my laptop:
Spec
Needs to connect via USB (or firewire - which is best?)
24-bit
Multi Inputs
Sync clock (this is the most important part)
I'm having trouble finding one, most of the higher end multi-input synchronizable cards are connected via PCI but I don't have that facility in my laptop.
Can anyone help?
cheers

RME, but the Fireface (bnc wordclock) has 8 out but only 2 analog in's (but can be expanded with adat) but then it gets pricier than it already is.
The Digiface has clock etc but needs adat to get the i/o's (mind u the behringer ada8000 is cheap and well rated.)
MOTU Ultralite mkIII - but no wordclock
M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge - must have adat for i/o (but goes up to 32 channels - has word clock I/O (via included breakout cable, BNC). works with pro-tools m-powered.
Presonus Firestudio - cant vouch for presonus, but that one's got the lot - 8x8 i/o inc' 8 mic pre's, wordclock, & adat expansion - also seems to have some sen/return sockets, nit sure how that works, but no doubt with some internal mixer applet
tc electronic StudioKonnekt 48 - 650 gbp - cant again vouch for tc's quality - 8x8 i/o on tsr jacks and 4 mic pre's, clock, adat expansion - 24 channels i/o on firewire anyways.
there's a few
i mean can u afford an Apogee Ensemble? (Mac only tho) cos man, those apogee converters rule for the money. My Duet is awesome and makes even a cherap mic sound classy and the Ensemble i/o's are the same apparently, but go up to 24/192anyways, don't be a stranger!... Fonzie be praised!

sorry it has taklen a while to reply - finally got round to getting a soundcard, went for a focusrite LIQUID SAFFIRE 56 as it seemed like it had everything I needed with a few nice pre amp modellers built in
Just had a delivery of foam to do may walls and picked up an NT-2 mic so its all coming together, now I just need to stick up all the foam and I'm away!
cheers for your recommendations, I had decided on the Presonus Firestudio but got talked out of it in favour of the focusrite.
Cheers
