IMO you need a more professional card to be even close to capturing the original sound. I use hammerfall/MOTU which are the best of the mid range cards and have a significantly fuller, warmer, smoother and more detailed sound than an SB Live - even then I know that something is lost.... but the next price level after the hammerfall would be astronimical... like an apogee Richard ----- Original Message -----
