Best soundcard for digital recording
Hi,
I'm building a small home studio right now and i'm really tight on budget.
My actual setup is:
Pentium 133 with 32 meg ram and 2.1 gig HD
SoundBlaster AWE32 with 8 meg RAM and tons of SoundFonts (some real cool)
Kawai K-1 keyboard
Kawai Q-80 sequencer
Roland SC-33 SoundCanvas module
Fostex X-26 4 tracks tape recorder
Boss Digital reverb pedal
Boss Flanger pedal
Peavey MAX 100 guitar effects processor
Charvel Model 4 electric guitar
Alvarez acoustic guitar (real cheap one)
My main goal is to be able to do digital recording. My AWE32 is real bad at
doing this because it can't do full duplex.
Should i change it for newer soundcards like the Guillemot HomeStudio Pro64 or
the Hanmesoft Soundtrack 128 ruby??? Should i keep it and buy an analog to
digital card like the ones from Event1, GadgetLabs, Midiman or TurtleBeach
(fidji model)???
For more harddisk space, what would be the best: a CD-burner or a Syquest
Spar-Q (Iomega Jaz drive)???
Any tips, tricks and advices welcomed.
Hope to hear from all of you soon.
JB
