| 623831 | 2007-12-23 06:16:00 | My son is really into his music and would like to do some recording of his piano playing & singing but after trying several times trying to record using a good mic plugged into our home PC he gave up due to poor quality of sound card. Below are details of our home computer: Service Tag Chassis Serial Number Express Service Code 1.2872975001529245e+29 Processor AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ Processor Speed 2.15 GHz Memory (RAM) 1024 MB Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Professional Operating System Version 5.1.2600 Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. M2V-MX Rev 1.xx Bus Clock: 200 megahertz BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 0201 09/22/2006 Both the video and sound cards are built-in with the motherboard. What will be the best sound card for recording that will match our computer specifications? Many thanks. |

| 623833 | 2007-12-23 23:41:00 | It depends how serious you are about the quality... Ideally you'd want a mixer or preamp to take the mic and then output to a seperate audio card with a line input. Or, try a USB microphone, such as a Rhode. The top quality microphone has a USB connector, so you won't need a seperate soundcard. www.rodemic.com |
