If you want an even better sound card, check out the Event Gina! Of course, quality costs.

-For the DSP maybe the best at price-quality is the MAxi Sound Home Studio 2. It has 8 channel DSP with Rev, Echo, Chorus and Semi-parametric 4 band ecualizer in the master output. Maybe the effects are not proffesional, but I don't know anybody who brings you more for about 230$. The memory is 4MB in the card and easily upgradeable with 72 pin memory of 4, 8 or 16MB. This card is 64 TRUE voices by hardware. The bad is that you've got to use the software "quartz audio master" supplied with the card to get all the posibilities of 8 channel DSP (upgradeable to 16), because this software is not very intuitive (I dream every night with a Maxi Sound Plug-In Direct-x for Cubase, SF, Samplitude...). The best software for multy track recording is Samplitude. If you have a powerful PC, look at the new PCI cards..
NOTE: AWE 32 and MS64 HS2 together with 8MB them both are a true studio recordind.
sorry for the too long explanation

It's cheaper than the maxisound, uses the same DREAM chip and is much better than the noisy AWE cards.
I've also used the Ensoniq audio PCI and it's a good card to buy if cheap no frills HD recording is what you're after.

excellent) and i often use some audio tracks for samples. I mostly do this to create some realistic or typical drum sounds using 606, 808 and 909 drumsamples. So what I want is a soundcard that can load waves and apply (multiple) effects on them. Either in onboard RAM or loading in real-time over the PCI bus. The Terratec EWS64 XL looked great to me, but I've heard some bad comments on that one. The coming Yamaha SW1000XG looks EXCELLENT, but it only has onboard ROM...... No RAM. Can I somehow use my own samples with that board and apply effects on them? Any advice is appreciated.
