I know what commercial recordings sound like, are you saying your gear
sounds any cleaner than what's on the typical commercial CD?

Further, have you actually used an Audigy? You said it was a
no-brainer with a SB Live. Live and Audigy are totally different
cards. Different chipset, etc.

And again, I didn't make the claim that the Audigy is the defacto
standard by which all cards should be judged on all counts. What I
said is that it gives fantastic performance, that for many it will
give perfectly good recording performance, that to simply dismiss it
as a "gamer" card and useless for recording is baloney.

And that's just talking about digital audio. It's a monster as a midi
tool.
