Beginner Soundcard?

Beginner Soundcard?

I need help picking out a soundcard. thank you to all helped me in my previous thread. I was originally looking at the M Audio Pro but I would like to hear about some other recommendations you guys have. My budget is 150-200. I would like to pay the least possible.

It seems as if the M Audio Pro doesnt have many inputs/outputs

yeah. it would be great to get a summarizing thread, which kind of compares the soundcard possibilities of the market. its not really helpfuzl to click through numerous threads in which different soundcards are being discussed.
i would be thankful, if a little “who is who guide” of soundcards could be develpoed here :wink:

I Agree :slight_smile: Lets get it going. So far this thread has been such a big help

there’s an article that Ean wrote on sound cards under $200… might want to start there. Just sayin

Ive seen it! Lol. I just would like some User’s opinions. i think it would be very helpful! Seeing as how you guys have already helped me so much

I think the Numark DJ IO would work great for youand i.s $99.99

But wouldnt I need something with more outputs if i do plan in the end to use it with full size speakers etc?

Inputs get sounds in for recording outputs feed speakers .

I do not understand?? Would I have an issue with the # of inputs/outputs

to play at a club…all you would need is a pair of RCA outs…Left and Right…take those and put them into the main mixer at the club which is already set up to the house speaker system…

So a Numark IO would be fine for my set up with a VCI 100? Would it connect to my computer Via USB?

Yes
and
Yes

So i was reading around and it seems the DJ IO might be fine for me. The VCI connects via USB so the DJ IO would basically only be used by me for headphone listening to another channel correct? The speakers would not connect directly to the soundcard??

If I went with a more expensive card (Fast Track Pro, Firebox), the more outputs and inputs would be useful for what then?

Or am i better off gettin the best card possible right now
