sound cards
Can anyone recomend a good sound card for recording? I recorded a song from my gnx4, which sounds great, but when I convert to mp3 or wave the drums sound like crap. I think my creative labs sound blaster may be the problem. any other recomendations would be appreciated. thanx

Yeah. I use the GNX4 as the sound card 8) Blows my stock one in my machine away!! That's the way to go if you don't want to buy some high end sound card. IMOP

I use the Echo Audiofire 8. It's not cheap, but I get good results. There are a number of M Audio products that also are very good. There is nothing wrong the GNX4 as a soundcard, either. Is your Soundblaster at least at the Audigy level? If so, it should be very good as well, if it is a pre-Audigy card, it is time to upgrade. When making your .mp3, try a higher compression ratio. Also, we have seen some issues where the .mp3 tends to reduce the levels on some tracks. You might want to run the track through some compression before you convert it to .mp3. You really shouldn't be experiencing much of a change when you convert to a wav file. Are your GNX4 that you are recording and mastering on, and the computer that you are playing back on connected to the same output speakers? If not, maybe that is the problem.
