External Sound Card Question
    #14484471 - 05/20/11 01:33 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Here's the deal: When we got good laptop, we were thinking we'd finally be able to get further with composing our own music. We were working on all kinds of cool ideas in Fruity Loops, but, inevitably, a couple minutes in or a few too many instruments at once, the playback would get fucked with all the skips and crackling sounds and everything like that. So we got a laptop with much more RAM, a much better processor, etc., to of course find that this computer is even more handicapped from this point of view. And, of course, the problem is that, being a laptop, it doesn't have a good enough sound card.

We read into it and found out that the solution is to get an external sound card, via USB. But we've been searching around and I'm pretty confused now because a lot of the results we are finding are more along the lines of audio interfaces, in that they have all the jacks for microphones, guitars, MIDI, all kinds of pre-amp controls... but what I want to know is if they'll also work as a sound card? Meaning, of course they're going to do great processing the incoming sound from the guitar or the keyboard, but is the device actually going to play the role of a sound card, with a program like Fruity Loops sending it's data through it?

Here's a couple of examples of these audio interfaces in question:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/emagic-a62M-usb-soundcard-mac-pc-including-drivers-/200607002827?pt=Midi_Controllers&hash=item2eb51bf0cb

We did some reading about this from Google but apparently it's all the more confusing as terms such as "audio interface" are used very ambiguously... :strokebeard:

Any advice is appreciated!  :bigblunt:

Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
