Jargon Busting – Sound Cards – ASIO

Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) is a computer soundcard driver that provides a low-latency and high fidelity interface between a software application and a computer’s sound card.
Most of todays sound cards have ASIO drivers as their chosen driver.

Motu Ultralite-mk3 – Compact Firewire Audio Interface

I like moto equipment and I like it’s ‘does what it says on the tin’ mentality.

I saw this advertised recently and liked the fact that it’s all included: Onboard effects make this worth the bucks.


MOTU UltraLite mk3 FireWire Audio Interface Standard

Motu UltraLite FireWire Audio Interface

MOTU UltraLite MKIII @ Dolphin Music £493
‘The Ultralite-mk3 is MOTU’s most compact and portable FireWire audio interface, featuring convenient bus powered operation, on-board mixing and effects, superb sound and reliable performance.

The UltraLite-mk3 provides flexible and mobile bus-powered operation, professional audio quality at samples rates up to 192 kHz and plenty of I/O, including two mic/instrument inputs, six line-level analog inputs, ten channels of analog output, stereo S/PDIF and a discrete stereo headphone output.


MOTU UltraLite mk3 FireWire Audio Interface Standard

Housed in a rugged, compact enclosure you can take anywhere, the UltraLite-mk3 is equally well-suited for studio and stage, with or without a computer. As an interface or standalone mixer, the UltraLite-mk3 provides 10 separate inputs and 14 separate outputs.

Connect all of your studio gear, including microphones, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines, effects processors and even MIDI devices. Record, monitor, route and process all of these live inputs using the professional on-board CueMix FX digital mixer — with no latency and no processor strain on your computer. Apply hardware DSP-driven effects processing to inputs, outputs, and busses independent of your host computer. Add Classic Reverb™ with lengths up to 60 seconds. Further sculpt your sound with 7-band parametric EQ featuring filter types carefully modeled after British analog console EQs. Choose between two forms of compression: a conventional compressor and the Leveler™, an accurate model of the legendary LA-2A™ optical compressor that provides vintage, musical automatic gain control.

After programming the on-board mixing in the studio, unplug the UltraLite-mk3 from the computer and take it on the road for operation as a stand-alone mixer with effects. All mixing and effects parameters are adjustable using the front panel backlit LCD.

The UltraLite-mk3 provides cross-platform compatibility with Mac and Windows and all of your favorite audio software and host-based effects via WDM/ASIO/Core Audio drivers. Or you can use the included AudioDesk workstation software for Mac, with 24-bit recording/editing and 32-bit mixing/processing/mastering.’

M-Audio 2496 Audiophile Studio Sound Card Review

M-Audio 2496 Audiophile Studio Sound Card Review

M-Audio 2496 Audiophile Studio Sound Card

My favourite soundcard, simple and easy to set up. Never had a problem.


M-Audio AUDIOPHILE-2496 PCI Digital Audio Card $99 @ Guitar Trader

Open up PC find empty PCI slot insert start up pc and install software.

Genius.

The thing is it’s that simple, latency is great and the signal is clear, dependent on incoming signal quality of course.

Used it with Sonar, Reaper, Audition and Wavelab with no problems.

Let’s face it as well at just under sixty notes it’s not too bad price wise.

So yeah these days USB and Firewire cards are all the rage but they take up desktop space.

If you’ve got a tower why not?

Well I suppose it’s downside is that if you only use PC based instruments and record with one mic at a time then a usb/firewire device is probably more desireable.

But then if you want more flexibilty and a mixing desk then the 2496 is just the job.

‘The Audiophile 2496 embodies a quantum leap in computer audio fidelity and performance unequalled by other audio cards in its price range. This critically acclaimed PCI card features premium digital audio converters, elegant board design and ultra-stable drivers just like the rest of the Delta line, but with a simpler I/O configuration.

As a member of the Delta family, the Audiophile 2496 supports all computer platforms and major software programs, ensuring seamless integration and rock-solid performance. See why the Audiophile 2496 is one of the best-selling digital audio cards in the industry.

“How does it sound? In a word, stunning. This has to be one of the best sounding cards we’ve had in for review…” — Computer Music’
