If I said I wanted a good quality soundcard to use in digital recording applications, essentially to turn my freebsd box into a digital sampler, what would be a good card to look at? The lower end cards can be awfully noisy, and I don't know quite how well the advanced features of the higher end cards are supported. Has anyone used FreeBSD in a music/sampling environment? What kind of card do you use? What kind of experiences have you had? I'm curious to swap stories before I go out and buy the wrong card. vinnie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
