PCI vs USB

Recommended Posts

I have always used a PCI-based recording device but need to upgrade. I have read lots of posts on the broad range of PCI cards (Link) as well as USB / Firewire based devices.

 

Obviously, if I dont like having lots of cables handing out of my computer an external device is a better option, and from everything I have read, a lot of them (Edirol, E-MU and M-Audio) all look like they don't suffer from latency issues when recording which is great. However, how do these external boxes function in terms of standard sound-card jobs like playback, eq and the like?

 

Is a USB device a straight replacement for your on-board sound card? Under what circumstances would you chose to have both?

 

Cheers

This forum is about a children's card game. Not this complicated computer sound recording mumbo jumbo.

 

I would suggest you Google it so that you can get a more experienced answer to the topic because I would not trust anybody on here to give me a honest answer about anything. =P

I recommend a system with the following specs:

 

64 KHZ Processor

8 Bytes of RAM

8 KB of HD space

32X32 Monochrome display

 

Hope this helps.

Fail trolling is fail. In a time when 8KB of HDD space was standard, a 64KHz processor would've been ridiculously powerful and 8 bytes of RAM would be pathetic.
