External sound device
 

Hey, was wondering what type of external recording device anyone has
had luck with? I am wanting to use Ardour, I am using a laptop with a
sound card that the mic input that is evidently useless. I was
planning on upgrading anyway so just wondering what is working good
for everyone before I buy? Thanks

Wesley

I have not compared much, but I am working with the M-Audio Ozone. That
won't be exactly what you want, but I like the idea of having some basic
midi controller at my disposal while working.

Most of the M-Audio USB devices are quite good in my opinion. And
several are supported using the madfu package. (find it on
http://usb-midi-fw.sourceforge.net/ )

that will take place of it is that correct?

No. Your sound card will be built into your laptop i guess. This one is
an external usb device. So you'll end up with 2 sound cards on your
system. You can let most programs (those with alsa-support) choose what
card you want to use.

Ok thanks that helps. My card works ok for playback but the mic jack
will not work and best I can tell from the forums there isn't much
hope of getting it to work. So that sounds like a good solution or
some other device but that looks pretty cool.
