Anyway, I'm using Cubase SX on a 450mhz G4 Tower.



Unfortunately, compared to my income, digital music is going to be expensive. And I can't really afford anything too pro-audio.



But considering I am not yet an obsessive audiophile with the hearing of a bat, who can pick out a 0.01db 1 millisecond fluctuation in a sound sample, will this setup give me pretty good sound quality.



For input <a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/"; target="_blank">a Griffin iMic</a>



For output <a href="http://www.midiman.com/products/consumer/sonica_page1.php"; target="_blank">the m-Audio Sonica</a> and <a href="http://products.sony.co.uk/pro_runproducts.asp?pid=1184&ShowRange=Yes&Percent age=0&New=No&Cat=HiFi+Separates&subCat=Home+Cinema &Ire=&CatID=3&sProdName=HTBE1" target="_blank">the sony HTBE1</a>



At the moment I've got a really old bodged-together quadraphonic stereo system, which actually sounds pretty good, but it just isn't 5.1.



Any opinions/suggestions?



Andrew

    opinions: while I'm no audiophile, I'm glad that you're coming over here to ask us that.



    and your question [quote] will this setup give me pretty good sound quality.

    <hr></blockquote> isn't very obvious.

    Sound card check my thread in current hardware. It's about the new M-Audio Revolution 7.1 PCI sound card that should be shipping to stores in the next couple weeks. If you have a tower with free slots, why get a USB solution? The Revolution will be $99, probably lower at some places. This card looks very good, especially for the price tag, and I will be putting one in my tower.



    The speakers look pretty good actually, I wonder what the price on them is?



    I'm currently putting together my audio setup so if you need any help feel free to ask.

    $99.00? Are you serious? What's the difference between the Mic Input and Line In ports? and would I need a PreAmp for either of them?



    In that case my wishlist has changed considerably:



    For Input & Output: <a href="http://www.midiman.net/products/consumer/revolution_page1.php"; target="_blank">the M-Audio Revolution</a> and <a href="http://www.yamaha-audio.co.uk/pchometheatre/system/tss-1/index.php"; target="_blank">the Yamaha TSS-1 (in black of course)</a> the Yamaha speakers have got good reviews.



    Thanks for your help

    I'm not the most up on sound cards these days, but I'm sure you can get a lot of good advice at......http://www.musicgearnetwork.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=1&submit=Go



    Some really nice people over there and plenty of non audio snobs.
