I am getting a new pc computer and would like to get a quality sound card. Does anyone have any recommendations?
desktopThere are many
Is it a laptop or a desktop?
I want to do both. I have been using Audacity with a Shure 57 with a usb adapter.What do you want to do with it? Just listen to music? Record?
If record, how?
I have Klipsch THX powered speakers at the present time and Sennheiser HD558 headphones.What kind of speakers do you want to connect to it?
I'd get a USB soundcard anyway, though you have some other options for desktops like an internal card... but I wouldn't bother with it.desktop
How many channels at most do you want to record simultaneously?I want to do both. I have been using Audacity with a Shure 57 with a usb adapter.
What kind of plug goes into the speakers' input?I have Klipsch THX powered speakers at the present time and Sennheiser HD558 headphones.
It also doesn't feel "cheap" in any way. Metal case. Ranked #6 on Amazon for "Computer Recording Audio Interfaces." There's also a step-up unit that has MIDI for $175 new, $125 used.1 XLR mic input, 1 line/instrument input and 1 00.25 inch TRS headphone jack
Thanks for all of the advice and suggestions. The main thing I learned is that I have a lot to learn.
TL; DR: Get an iPhone with 32gb or more. If you need a data plan, make sure you get a big enough one!Every time I go to upgrade some piece of electronic something or another, I feel exactly the same way. Currently going through that with our smart phones. We have 2: a Blackberry that I love, and an Android that I'm not very fond of.
All are friends are telling us to go to an IPhone, but I'm doing my research and checking out all the phones--not to mention all the carriers and their plans.
It will soon be impossible for BlackBerry to lose more market share. That's literally the first link I saw when I Googled "Blackberry Market Share." I really can't recommend a device from a company that might close its doors, like, tomorrow. Unless, of course, Virgin will personally transfer your BB data to a different smartphone if your BB dies. (FWIW, I had two or three BBs during my time at my current job. I liked the idea of the little trackball. Sucks that it kept breaking.) That's the same thing I can say about Windows Phone, even though the four people I know that have 'em love 'em.Personally, I must say, I do like the Blackberry.
