Cheap, decent soundcard

Cheap, decent soundcard

2004-03-15 by HKC

What should I buy if I need a low latency 2 in/out soundcard. It�s just for home recording but it�s absolutely a must that it�s stable. Latency should be low enough for playing softsynths, I seem to remember that the Delta Audiophile is pretty good, is that still the case, they�re very cheap now.

I couldn't be happier with my Audiophile 24/96 card. The latency is so 
low that I routinely play softsynths in realtime without noticing any 
delay (I use the Audiophile's MIDI I/O as well as audio I/O), and I 
have zero stability issues (using the CoreAudio drivers in OS X; YMMV 
if you're not using OS X yet).
