Indeed,but to suggest I might be posing(with a soundcard?,I got Ray bans for
that!)or have been misled,ripped off etc is ridiculous.

Professionls want the good stuff because we want to hear what we're doing as
accurately as possible.... could we do it with a SBLive/Audigy... yeah,
probably. But what's a few hundred dollars more for a quality piece of
equipment. My RME card is one of the least expensive pieces of equipment I
own.

It is unfortunate but as with most things you get what you pay for.
OK,I'll accept the argument why have a Rolls Royce when a Ford will do but
RR drivers know the difference is vast.


Doc: "Well, I'm sure that's what the makers of the "Pro" cards would likeyou
think anyway. It likely irks them that for a fraction of the costyou can
have high quality midi/digital audio from one source."

Far from it.These engineers,software writers know their onions and know them
well.

 I own older Gibson and Fender guitars because to my ear, they sound
better.. and guess what, they cost a bit more as well. I don't mind paying
for quality.

Yep,I too subscribe to that,FFS on a horn that costs �2600+ when assembled
and playing,I want THAT sound on tape(well...hard disk),nothing less than
that which will within reason,for me,in my studio,by my judgement-sound
ACCURATE will do.
If spending that money on a Sax setup has people agog-well that's the real
world,sorry

" I have a T-Shirt that says.... "Life Is Too Short For Bad Tone"

I should have several of those T-shirts!!

There is little else for me to say but from my experience the better
sounding equipment-mixers,mics,FX,amps,speakers,PA's,CD
players,turntables-all that stuff,benefit the behearer,it's unfortunately
not cheap equipment.
