RE: E-MU Audio Production Studio
This was the answer given to me by EMU/Tech Support:
"The APS is a pro level audio card. Spec differences include SBlive signal to noise 76db, APS 96 db. APS also has mic preamps (with or withour 12v phantom power), headphone interface, and the APS mixer system with associated effects.
Basically the SBlive is a consumer level 'gaming' card while the APS is a pro level audio interface for music production. In comparison to other pro level
cards at around $1000 US that do not provide as much versatility...the APS is the clear choice."
Another answer given to be my EMU was:
"The APS card has a drive bay connector that fits in the front of your computer system with Digital i/o, Line/Mic input and outputs. The APS card is more geared for professional music recording with a very high quality effects engine and a great mixing control panel. They are diffrent types of products geared for diffrent applications.
SBlive is more Gamer/home oriented while the APS is geared for the more professional musician with balanced high quality connectors and a very high quality effects engine."
I am not sure if the price difference still can be motivated?
