Lab_Rynth Posted June 9, 2001 Share Posted June 9, 2001 Which provides more bang for the buck? I can get either the yamaha sw1000xg or the korg oasys pci for $499. I am big into recording mostly new age type music w/few vocals, but would like to get into maybe recording for local artists. Any preference or advise would be appreciated. Thank you...

AudioMaverick Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 I have a pair of Midiman Delta-1010's. They give 8 analog ins & outs, with a pair of S/PDIFs. They run about $600.00, or $700.00 with bundled software (Guitar Center, MARRS, Sam Ash). If you were considering a mix of features, look at the MOTU 2408 "MK-II". It is pricier, but gives a blend of MIDI interface and built-in mic preamps. I know these weren't your original choices, but I found both of these cards to have beeter specs. than the other cards in the class of "pro-sumer".

mix2much Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 I hate to be a guy to correct anyone but I hate to mislead people also. Just a note, the MOTU 2408 mkII has no midi, or mic preamps. It does feature 8 analog I/O, 24 adat and t/dif I/O, stereo spdif I/O, and word clock I/O. Very versatile unit, but not an all in one box.

st00ts Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 I would recommend the Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96. It's got 4 in's, accept either XLR or line inputs, has mic preamps, S/PDIF, 6 outs, MIDI in/out, all for 500 bucks. Of course it ain't a sound card, it's just a PCI interface going to an external box of I/O, but I own one and it works beautifully for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st00ts Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Oh, and I forgot to say, comes w/ Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 bundled, an additional 250 $$ value or so. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratman_dup1 Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Where did you find a Korg Oasys for $499.00? I did a search for soundcards on Gearprice just 2 days ago and they were listed for like $1,300.00!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab_Rynth Posted June 12, 2001 Author Share Posted June 12, 2001 Found it for $499 at our local guitar center store... Awesome price...eh? But, which is better? The Korg or the Yamaha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
