![]() The soundblaster also only can record at 48khz. Maybe things would be different with the RME amps and a good software to visualize the listening and recording levels in action. ![]() All i can do is to add a compressor like the L2 VST, but i am not sure it's a good thing to do. I apply a peak normalization but the recording remains low if i listen it next to the average mp3 or. i push the line in volume until 1/4 (if i put more i hear it's clipping), then i record with accoustica mixcraft or soundforge. As explained earlier, i directly plug the rca jack from the phono preamp in the line in of the card. I record vinyls since a long time and i am never really satisfied. I recently read a test that you can see here … index.html and even in 2002, several other sound cards were better), and that it could lack the benefits of a very precise turntable like the linn. ![]() Maybe i am wrong thinking that my soundblaster's line in is not good enough ? I am not an expert at all in this matter, but i believe that this card was not dedicated to a pro use (i wich way, i don't know. Your mark a point: i really enjoy my current sound. When reading your post, it seems that changing my soundcard just for improving my recordings is not really usefull. Missfortunely i don't have any opportunity to test such material. You may find that the "better" soundcard merely reproduces surface noise better, and you in fact prefer the sound through a SoundBlaster! I wonder if you can borrow a Fireface (and other options) before comitting to a purchace? But I'm sure you agree that whatever it IS about, it ISN'T about extended frequency range and accuracy. Your feelings about the vinyl sound are your own business. Is there an alternative that will give me the same audio quality for recording, but for less money ? I plug the RCA out of my Linto pr?amp directly into the soundcard. What i am now after, is a recording sounding exactly the same as the original. I don't really need all these inputs and outputs, i just connect my turntable and sometimes a roland pc 300 (usb + midi) in usb. The FF800 is for me quite expensive for the use i will have. But an internal card could also fits my needs. The FF800 seems better than the FF400 because it has separate A/D and D/A converters. The FF800 have the lowest harmonic distortion rate for its A/D converter. ![]() Several person convinced me that RME is one of the best brand for it's audio equipment, but now i have to make a difficult choice between all the models. I plan to record all my vinyls and i now need a new soundcard to replace my old soundblaster audigy platinum ex. I just purchased a high end turntable (Linn lp 12 + Ekos 2, Akiva, Lingo II, Linto.). ![]()
