Hi all
I'm in a bit of a hole at the moment. I've never really bothered with a sound card and always went with onboard sound rather than shelling out.
But now i'm thinking its necessary as i'm also buying myself a Mixer and recording equipment.
Could anyone suggest a sound card that would give me decent playback quality when producing/mixing music, but would also support my 5.1 surround system?
I've been looking at the Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Music. which seems like it might do the job. I've also been looking at an Alesis Multimix 8 for the mixer. this is a USB mixer and so would bypass the need for a card with the chunky great jacks.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers
