Sound Cards

Well, any sound card will work with either of those...

If yer set on ASIO, then why not a Gigaport?

For what it's worth, I'm not a fan of ASIO for varying reasons, so I would rather have dual WDM cards. You can get two Behringer UCA202s for $50 total, they have RCA ins and outs, and sound comparable to the Gigaport...

It also gives you a backup if one card fails -- you can switch both outputs to a single card.

Just my .002 :)
 
If you're still looking Cam, take a look at the M-Audio Fast Track Pro. Works great with VDJ.
 
I recently had the chance to see the Torq Audio unit and was quite impressed but it being of the typical plastic stuff Im happy to have my Denon DN-HD2500 whichi is solid and weighs more than my Numark CDMIX2. IT can handle my 500 gig HD external along with the 40 gig onboard without a shudder. Picked my backup WD Notebook with firewire which will be my main unit retiring my USB WD Notebook 500 gig . Did I say how much I love Denon. PM me to get the bes price on this unit (HD2500).
 
I recently had the chance to look at what I think is the best of any of these plastic units The Torq player controller / mixer. But still happy to have the very top notch built Denon DN-HD2500 I own and love. Im able to add my 500 gig HD external and do as I please with it. IF anyone wants more detail on the HD2500 pm me and I might even be able to share the best price.
 
Hi dj Cam!
Most popular audio card for VDJ is Maya44(chek the VDJ forum for info).I use Lexicon Alpha but im not wery happy with because latency is a bit too big for my taste.You can also try with Echo Indigo Dj-pcmca card.My friend is werry happy with and is good sounded.
Good mix
 
While everyone has had good suggestions no one has commented on the product in question.

The Maya 44 is a good card. No longer made.
The Gigaport good again. No longer made.
Echo Indigo DJ - I Like the operation of the card but don't like the fact it's pcmia.
The little usb cards - Cool but I want something pro-level with rca or 1/4" outs

I would like to check out the M-Audio card. I'm going to see if GC has one.

WHY RICK OH WHY? You're my idol you made me cry :(

I say stay away from USB. Firewire, or any card with it's own proprietary interface to PCI with an external breakout box is what you want.

My insiders tell me creative has just dropped the EMU line of professional sound cards from its lineup. Over 1/2 of the good engineers went over to Universal Audio.
http://www.uaudio.com/

The new product manager gleaned a bunch of ideas from my setup for UA's next secret project. I'll be getting a freebie and betas because i'm so awesome.

Ya, i'd say wait for the next UA card. This is the only info I have on it at this time...

It will be an external DSP breakout box like the EMU1820
It will have many inputs and outputs
I/O levels and effects can be midi controlled without the use of a DAW

Young Weedhopper, please let me explain... :) Mind you I'm stoned


In a far off land called the Internet (shudders), there are 4 or 5 major DJ software packages. Mine is now one of those.

It has been a tough road Weedhopper, but if you look at my support forums, versus theirs, you will see why I don't like ASIO :sqwink:

I'm like the Maytag Dude -- I use WDM drivers, Mayberry still exists, Barney doesn't even need that bullet, and life is serene... :)



So, when MS adopts ASIO as their standard sound driver, then so shall I... :)

Rick, I'm trying to figure out your POV as a programmer, what exactly is wrong with ASIO? (Just sparking friendly conversation)

Programmatically, it's not all that difficult to handle -- support wise, it can be a nightmare :sqeek:

It adds another layer of complexity to an already complex program. My theory is, the less things to break, the less they will, and make my life easier :)

I have a hard enough time explaining to some customers how to plug in a sound card, let alone set it up properly for ASIO!

If I have a customer call, and say they want to output each deck to a separate mixer channel, I can simply tell them to plug in two sound cards, change the deck outputs, and walla, everything works just dandy -- no drivers to load, no headaches tweaking ASIO settings, everything just works.

If MS adopted ASIO as it's standard sound driver, they would supply built in ones, which each manufacturer would have to handle, and code to, like WDM. Then I would be happy to utilize them, as it would be standard across sound cards.

Also, my software is not designed as a wiki-wiki, scratch type program, so I have no need for the extra features that ASIO allows.

Life is simple :)
 
I'm not thrilled with a pcmcia card... Mainly because that eliminates my ability to have my verizon internet card up and running - just incase I need to buy a tune online at the last minute.

Anyone try the american audio genie?

Switch your Verizon card to a USB port version... problem solved.
