Recording Audio - Options
Question for some of you audio masters (you listening Sonic?) I'm reconfiguring my audio system so I can begin transferring old cassette tapes and vinyl to digital format. I still have the Creative Audigy Platium card (24bit) that I used to use to do this. Now I have a new pc based on an Asus P5WD2-Premium mobo with 8 channel on board sound. Everything I read seems to pertain to audio OUT with the on board. I'm wondering if I should instead install the Audigy card. Which do you think would give better recording performance? Btw, I use a program called Audio Cleaning Lab 2004 for recording and manipulating the files.

Personally I would use the Audigy card. I haven't used many newer onboard sound setups but I know the one on my motherboard is not at all impressive. The A/D converters in the Audigy are likely superior to the ones on the motherboard.

Audigy card all the way. And I know it's been posted before by myslef and Craig, but read this: http://www.delback.co.uk/lp-cdr.htm

Thanx guys. Had a hunch that would be the best option. Appreciate the link, SV. Had that one saved already since it's a good one to refer to whenever a question comes up about music transfer.

A seperate soundcard will be better in recording. I tried recording using an onboard sound system before and the sound quality is not very good.
When I used my Creative Live 5.1, the recording is just great. Not much static and no more muffled sound.

Update. Got the sound card installed,latest driver installed from Creative, the onboard disabled in the bios, the Realtek software removed (not necessarily in that order) and we're back in business. Thanx for the suggestions folks.
