EMU is making some nice cards these days though it may be out of your price range.

If you come across some money somehow plop down on an RME card. Bout to get a Multiface myself.

That's pretty useful, I'll keep that in mind.


It's a long time before I actually start buying things (I need money first) but I got the idea of buying my own computer in my head so I wanted to ask what would be the best things to get.
Personally, I think buying my own computer with soft/hardware is the best way for a beginner/hobbyist to become a bit more serious in this. Unless you guys (with more experience) proof wrong?

Yeh the RME cards are gonna cost you $$$ so maybe not something until you get a bit more serious. M-Audio is probably a good bet to get you started. Once you get your feet wet and start making a bit more $$$ you can drop on something like an RME.

But definitely stay as far away from anything made by Creative Lags.

Heh, well the only computer we have is this one, that's on the attic. But everyone in this house uses it. My next objective is to get one for my own, to have it in my own room too.

The BEST music creation software by far, is FL Studio 6
(Fruity Loops)
And i own nuendo and cubase, and i think this is way better, i also own the native instruments FM7, DX7 emulator, and if you use it as a vst plugin in conjunction with FL, you can make some sweet music.
The minimoog v is also good.
