Hi Everybody
I am looking for a not soo expensive USB soundcard that works without problems and have low recording latency.
48 kHz /24 bit recording in stereo is all I need , dual mic inputs is a plus but not neccesary , as I will probably use a mixer in front of it.
I have read lots of reviews on different USB soundcard and it seems to that there are lots of problems with drivers that locks up the PC, cracks and pops during recordings, high latency etc etc.
I like the design of Lexington Alpha or Lambda , but they are only USB 1.1 (not USB 2).
Tacam US-122L looks good , but has bad reviews , lots of driver problems.
M-AUDIO AUDIOPHILE USB has also reported problems and is not specified USB 2
Anyone having a E-Mu - 0202 USB 2.0 ?

I don't have any experiance with the USB stuff but I do own and use a E-MU 0404 card. Great card, I love it. Super simple to record on. Handles guitar into zoom multi efx pedal and then into the card. 0 latency, or so they say.
Hi,
Currently, due to limited resources I use the Stealthplug from IK Multimedia http://www.stealthplug.com/
It came with heaps of freebies that I'm still trying to get to grips with. The main one is the Amplitude 2 that lets you get some real effects and different tones.
You can create some serious tones and depending on your Speaker output ( i use a Marshall MG30) on the clean channel and it really pumps some noise.
However, I tend to use it to record myself when practicing. You can also plug headfones into the stelthplug and let no-one else into your world. :lol:
Hope this helps.

I finally bought a E-MU Tracker pre USB 2.0 audio interface.
It is more or less an upgraded version of E-MU 0202 USB 2.0.
A first rmultitrack recording test (24bit/44.1 kHz) show that it works very good without any problems.
No latency and low CPU load.
But, when I opened recording project (3 tracks) made with another soundcard (16 bit/44.1 kHz) and another ASIO driver the CPU load skyrocked ...

Witht the old project, did you check for DC offset? This can really cripple a recording. It's usually due to poor design on the soundcard portion and once it's on disc, it will appear, regardless of the new interface. There is actually a plugin out there that will remove DC offset and hopefully regain some of your cpu power.
You may try to MAYA44 USB External Sound Card, i used it.
