It's certainly going to be as good as any other card that sits in the computer, but has a lot more flexibility. The XLR inputs and pre-amps are a nice addition as well if you are trying to stay on a budget. I have the Delta 1010 (twice the price of the 1010LT and no pre-amps), and it's very nice because all the input and output will take balanced lines. I find it to be extremely quiet. I use the pre-amps on my Mackie 1402-VLZ which are nothing to write home about, but are good enough for anything I might do for now. If you want to stay cheap but still have good quality and have the extra inputs, I think the 1010LT would be a great way to go. In my experience with music equipment, I've often regretted getting just what I need, and have never regretted getting more than I need with a bit more flexibility. vic _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
