Re: PCI Express sound card?

When I was shopping for a new computer, I settled for an older
model largely because it had PCI slots.
E-Mu makes the 1616m in a PCI-E version. If you like the way they
do things, you might consider upgrading to that, though it has lots more
inputs and outputs than your 0404. I wonder if you can buy just the

Seems like a USB-2 audio interface, of which EMu has a number good ones,
would be a potential solution.

Larger than a 1/2" condenser mic, which was the basis for another series
they were making at the time.
If you like an SM57 on snare, you'd probably like the ATM21 about the same,
I'd guess. I have an AT812, which I think is essentially the same mic
but in a
different series. The capsule assembly is almost exactly the same size as an

Oh, and I run mostly Linux, and that adapter comes with windows drivers.
Not sure whether it would work with Linux.

A friend of mine from Seattle has a Lexicon LARES system installed in
the tracking
room of his studio. He records mostly classical music, but there's all
sorts of classical
music. He can make the room sound right for the size of the group or the
form of
music. He didn't have it installed when I was up there in 2000-2001, but

I'm sure I can get a decent sound card for $139!. Actually,
they have some of these on ebay for a reasonable price. The
problem is that they lift the PCI card above its normal position
by a half inch or so. I might have to modify the card or the
case for the I/O plate to fit properly.

PCI Express sound card?

t...@rcsreg.com (Tobiah) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:09:28 UT

I love my Emu 0404, but I just found out that my new
computer has no PCI slots - only PCI Express. So, I
need recommendations for a replacement. All I really
need is digital I/O, but a very clean audio out would
be good too.
Thanks

Another thing, I was thinking of turntable hookups and never ground
both shield ends. You actually have to look into the phono cables to see how they are wired.

I agree that his work is excellent, but it does not apply at all in this
case. We aren't talking about lifting shields on balanced lines here.

Can I suggest that everyone has a look at Tony Waldron's excellent set of
articles on this subject - they can be found at

This old myth about not connecting the cable screen at both ends is clearly
dealt with

I haven't experienced any other systems, but I can sure swear by this

With the system on as the audience enters, it really fools them. Their

After a number of years, I have recently become aware of convolution. I
currently have a plug-in called SIR2, and I think I understand the basics,
but I need to go further. There are several musical instruments that have a
certain characteristic within a mix that I want to imitate and use in a
different mix. It was quite impossible to imitate the modified instruments

Thanks for the info Mike. I found a description on the web that called
the ATM21 a "large-diaphragm dynamic". Not sure what "large diaphragm"
means in terms of a dynamic mic, exactly, but it sounds like that
would make it better suited for things like drums, bass, and organ.
The person selling it said he liked it on snare. I'm curious how
