The soundcard is quite old now, and requires an ordinary PCI interface. My immediate wish would be for 8 in x 2 out so I could get rid of the mixer (just keep a simple mic amp) and more precisely -and repeatably- define the input levels. Later it would be nice to have both more inputs and outputs so I could bring in another rarely used synth and start to experiment with surroundsound etc. I should also point out that I also put 2 softsynths into the mix. I've been working at 44.1kHz 16bit up to now for ease of producing CDs (not that I've sold any), but rather think I should be moving up to 48kHz 24bit ############ My thoughts would be that a first move would be for a 2 in card with ordinary unbalanced line level inputs, not worrying about noise level but trying to get a reasonably clear idea of THD as well as hammering out a communication protocol. My programming knowledge is limited, as are my hardware facilites. I can however test things out I have an analogue sine/square/triangle generator with less than 0.01% sinewave distortion (100Hz-10kHz), pretty clean square response and linear triangle output. I used to use this for testing amplifiers, along with a twin T notch filter, scope and valve voltmeter. I would be happy to buy a made-up development board with initial programming done, and then work in parallel with developers testing and improving both the software and hardware. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
