Audiocard for Edius

[UlfLaursen]

Hi

I am getting my new Dell workstation next week and want of course Edius on it. There is some kind of onboard sound, but I think I want something more.

Can anybody recommend a good audiocard at aprox. $200.

I am lokking at the ESI Julia:

Can anybody recommend this one for Edius.

Thanks.

Thanks Zorro,

What about the Delta 44? I don't need many ins and outs.

Thanks.

The Delta 44 should also work. I prefer the 1010LT because of the high quality Mic preamps and the routing flexibility. It's just a few bucks more.

[UlfLaursen]

You are rigth Zorro, it does not cost much more over here either, so I might take that one instead. :-)

Thanks for the input.

The only question is: do you need 48v phantom ?
If not, 1010lt mide be your card.

[UlfLaursen]

Thanks Johannes,

No, I don't need that.

Basicly I nedd a good soundcard, with one output and one mic. imput if I need it, I have other PC's with input too. I just don't want a soundblaster with all kinds of extras installed for gaming, fun etc. I just want a good quality no nonsense soudcard, and I think that both the Delta 44 and the ESI Julia has this that in them.

So you do not need 48v for phanthom powered mic´s.
Then i agree with Zorro Delta 1010LT is your card because of the mic preamps.
If you buy the delta 44 you will need extra external preamps.

Hi
I have a M-audio delta 1010LT, more than pleased with it, but look out for the drivers, the new ones only works properly with vista.....

[UlfLaursen]

If you buy the delta 44 you will need extra external preamps.

Ahh ok, Johannes - that will probably settle it at the 1010 LT.

Thanks for your input too, Ludde. I see your from Sweden - you did quite well at the EU cup in football - we (Denmark) were not there at all :-( :-(

Hi ulf
I also have a mic preamp for 48 volt condenser mics....
You could also set jumpers to get a balanced line in on the card, that is on the mic inputs....
Fotballl: Yes Denmark is mising the Laudrup brothers :)
But I am happy as long your country produces hof :)

For good microphone sound maybe you need good mic-preamplifier or any micpreamp or simple audio mixing console under 100$.
Something like this

If you use preamp, inegrated soundcard will be OK....

ESI Julia

Hi,
just noticed the thread about the Audio card, go with the ESI Julia, I am using one of these cards and they are great, you can also reverse the inputs on them, Top Card, great Sound.. Also supports every operating system i.e xp, xp64, Vista 32 and 64 bit as well.

Cheers
Steve

Please check if Edius supports the card! (Voice over!)

I use a USB-Interface of Tascam (UA-144, 2 XLR, 2 Jack and one MIDI Inputs). It works fine.

Because of USB it is much more flexible...

Regards,

I.
