Title: New Production Computer, Part 2
Post by: XmasScotty on April 29, 2019, 2213 UTC
So I got the new production computer, and it's tits. But I screwed up with the audio interface. I'm less than happy with what I got. So I'm looking for a sound card with a bit more fire power. What I got was just what came with the Dell, thinking that it with a Behringer interface was good enough. Recommendations, Huffers?

It depends on what kind of production you want to do, your budget, and I/O.  You can get a decent SB or equivalent internal card for about $100-150.  These will generally be quieter than the onboad chipset sound.  If your using a USB mic for VO you don't really need much of anything for I/O.  If you want to go the USB interface route, most of the behringer stuff is OK.

As I make a new account, check new unread messages, and work on interfacing my board to my yeasu 857d...

I just received my Behringer interface from "the big A" and couldn't be happier. It's exactly what I needed to get my board, mic and transceiver piped to the laptop with ease and better quality than straight in to the laptop (line levels and such).

I'm currently sitting here playing with cables working out output from laptop to board to radio, while retaining the current "recording mode" setup.

Dunno if it'll help sway your decision but for <100 bucks you can't go wrong with an audio interface if you're doing line level work to your PC.
