... Cubasis VST, and Image-Line Fruity Loops. Ok, so when it came i opened the instruction manual where it told me how to install and set up the device. Now i am no computer expert, but i am not exactly clueless, i have done things like this before. But the instalation was very complicated, and took a lot of time to do.

Having been bitten by the well known incompatibilities between the SB Live family of cards and Athlon motherboards, I was wary of buying the Audigy platinum. I had no reason to be worried however as it was literally a dream come true. Installing this card is not easy by any means, there are a lot of components to think about: the main card, a smaller daughter card, an external breakout box and a monolithic cable.

It also deals with firewire. thats right, the Audigy has firewire built ... Read the complete review

The signal-to-noise ratio of the card is 96dB, which is incredible in itself, and it's improved further by the inclusion of a 24-bit DAC on the output side of things.
