billbeau Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 In search of a sound card that is inexpensive. Must have 2 analog inputs that have a sample rate at 24 bit and 192KHz. Same for output. I saw this one for 149.00 http://www.esi-audio.com/products/julia/ Im also looking for the best audio recording software for recording to computer from LP that does 24 bit and 192KHz sampling. I am currently using Sound Forge but it only goes to 96KHz. Im looking at Cakewalk but would to see if I may have skipped something better. Im only doing two channels so anything more is a waste.

el jopez Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I'm looking at Asus' Xonar cards but I'm still on the fence on which card to purchase myself. For audio I'm running Adobe Audition which suits me fine though it comes at a very steep price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound Forge has supported 192 since at least 7. I have both 7 and 9 on various computers. Perhaps it is only offering what your SC will support. I have using SF personally and professionally since 3.0 and found there are no better at the price. With 9 supporting multi channel recording, I have no desire to look at anything else. ESI makes very fine cards. I have an 8 channel XL I've used to make 24/192X4 channel surround location recordings that are awesome. I've not used the one you mention, but the brand is solid. The new Intel HD audio chipset has a good rep and comes right on the MB. M-Audio makes some very fine cards at low cost. Really quite a feast at the 150.00 or less price point these days. I am on hiatus from that route for a while since getting the Korg MR-1. I really love 1 bit 2.8mhz both for its sound quality as well as being able to transcode transparently to any PCM format with no change in sound that I can hear aside from, of course, any drop to a lower resolution. Nice to have a totally one button solution that doesn't need Bill Gates. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billbeau Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Sound Forge 9 does support 192 KHz rates but I am using Sound Forge Audio Studio which only supports up to 96KHz. Maybe Sound Forge 9 is the way to go seeing how I already know how to use the Audio Studio version. I found the Juli for 132.00 so looks like this card is in my near future as well as a copy of SF9. One thing that does interest me though is that he ESI card is supported by Linux. I would love to start recording using Linux again. I was using Audor under Ubuntu but it is limited to 96Khz so I need another open source application that does 192. I changed to Microsnot because the Creative Audigy 2 platinum pro is not a well supported card under Ubuntu or Linux for that matter. The on board sound card on this motherboard only does 48KHz so I upgraded to the Audigy and it didnt play nice with Audor. So back to M$ and Sound Forge.
