Hello all
I am doing some dance tracks with my computer (p3 600, 256ram, 20gig EIDE HD) but I have not been too pleased with the results. I listen to other .mp3 tracks on my computer and I want to reach that... not sure how to explain it or what you call it, but its that great sound where you can really hear the bass ripping phat or pounding hard, the bass drum really thumps, the hihats clink really clear, you can hear every frequency of the pads/strings, and the lead synths just have that clear pure full range sound to it, not all muted or bleeding into other sounds. I know a lot has to do with the mixing and mastering (EQ, compressing/limiting), and I do the best I can with that. But my friend has told me that I can get more from my mixes with a better sound card, because mine is crap (Im using a sound blaster awe32 that came with computer). Will a better sound card give me phatter, cleaner sound? My friend can give me a deal with either a Echo Gina24, or a Korg Oasys. Anyone use these, and have any thoughts on what might be better? Any helpful comments are much appreciated
