Vilenarios
Oct 21, 2006
observe the space
I've certainly learned a lot through this thread. Been using Ableton w/ Ezdrummer (and Impulse for the more electronic drums) and Amplitube for my drums/guitar/bass and then misc instruments for all my effects and what not. I'll probably get a small midi controller sooner or later.

My question is - could anyone recommend a good sound card that could handle a midi-controller and a line-in for my guitar? Or is this a bad idea to use a sound card for this job, and go with an M-Audio interface or something. Right now, I'm just plugging my guitar into the line-in on the motherboard's sound interface, and when I'm in Ableton, there is about a second of latency. Could this be due to the fact that I don't actually have a soundcard to process whatever, or some latency settings within Ableton? I was thinking of just getting a Soundblaster X-Fi or something.
