Title: USB soundcards
Post by: mmadd29 on February 20, 2004, 02:52:32 PM

Hello All,

I am thinking of buying one of the two types of USB souncard/converter

M-audio Sonica

Griffin iMic

I would perfer the m-audio, but will settle for the other.  What I need to know is will I be able to use Cool Edit 2000 to record with these cards?

I plan on running the audio out of my Aiwa MD to one of the cards, then record via USB with Cool Edit.

I will eventually get a standalone MD with optical outs, and a soundcard with optical in's.

Thanks,

Michael Hager

I don't understand what the inputs of my soundcard have to do with anything.    I thought the usb on the m-studio is the out, therfore Cool Edit has to record from an USB port?

The USB device is seen as a sound card, therefore its just another input & output to your recording software.

Schwilly's right, don't get the iMic. It IS ass - I used to have one.
