<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Charles, as I answer to Brian, I paste
the same about the soundcard<br>
<br>
<i>I will buy the cheap soundcard (ARS $200). I understand what
you say, but it has some benefits:</i><i><br>
</i><i><br>
</i><i>- I care the notebook audio-out jack. USB is more resistent
for pluging and unpluging. I (this) summer, I work in a park and
I do what this video shows, EVERYNIGHT:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNUZULR7k18">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNUZULR7k18</a></i><i><br>
</i><i>- I have more inputs and outputs (for future features).</i><i><br>
</i><i>- Maybe, I avoid noise in the line (for the moment, I don't
have it... but I think it depends on the power line of the
location).</i><i><br>
</i><i>- Sometimes, I do record some samples... it will be usefull
for that.</i><i><br>
</i><br>
And, you can check BEARDYTRON_5000 here:

<div>Hi Mario<br>
</div>
<div><br>
The number one reason for having an
external sound card is noise isolation.
The card's proximity to the power supply
and motherboard are bad for EM noise.
Also, a computer power supply and a good
audio power supply for recording have much
the same relationship--there's more noise
in switching electronics.<br>
<br>
</div>
Next, there's the size constraints. You'd
have a hard time adding all the connectors
for a large number of channels on a card
which plugs in to your PCI(e) slots.<br>

It's ok, I have a notebook: 1 plug out, 1 plug in.

Third: there's not as great a need for
bandwidth for audio as there is with video.
Video cards need all that PCI(e) bandwidth.
Audio doesn't. It's a relatively small amount
of data. Of course--I think USB and firewire
really don't have enough bandwidth for good
scalability, but that's another discussion.<br>
<br>
</div>
But... what are you doing with it? You have
different requirements for recording and for
live sound. Live sound: just do it up. No one
will likely notice.<br>
</div>

</div>
Live sound is my purpose. Mic-in looping-station and
multieffects system (following the steps of Beardyman
and his Beardytron_5000). But, sorry about not
understanding your expresion (english is not my native
language).... What do you mean with "just do it up, no
one will likely notice"? Should I buy it or no one will
notice the difference? I think you mean I should...<br>
</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just use the onboard sound. Live performance or
installations can be much more tolerant of noise. You may
have to tune your patches for the hardware, but don't give
it too much thought and "just do it up" (a
recommendation). <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I'm not familiar with Beardyman/tron_5000. That sounds
cool.<br>
