Got a Problem ...

I need a new soundcard for producing with Ableton... right, there are many good products.

I´ve got a Laptop and a PC .... PC a little bit old but with new RAM (2Gb)and 2,6 Ghz he will do is work well.

So my question is: several People said that an external soundcard is always expensiver and not so stable like a PC Soundcard (internal).

I will focous on producing at home ... Laptop or PC.... good compromise is an external Soundcard.... i can use it with pc and with the laptop.... 95 % of time i need the soundcard at home...

Any suggestions ??

what doi you think about following products:
RME RME 9632 HDSP or M-Audio(external) , EMu (external)

thx for help

I use the MOTU Ultralite, which I think could be a good solution as well. Firewire interface that can use on both your Mac and PC.

yes ... i´ve heard several comments on this ... m-audio makes a lot of advertising but should not be so good...

i will have to decide between motu and rme ..

I've got the Motu Ultralite, and it's fantastic. I've also heard nothing but good things about RME, so I think whichever you choose you'll end up with a really nice one.
