Janet--

First, you would not necessarily find sound card info on Klarinet. However,
IMHO, the best sound card for dollars spent is the Sound Blaster Live --
either the X Gammer or the MP3 version. Same card, but somewhat different
software at $99.95. Many of the generic cards are based on Soundblaster
technology, so it would be better to get the real thing.

As far as clarinets go...

Check the archives. This has been a long-time discussion, and there is no
right answer. Top makes include Buffet, LeBlanc and Selmer. Each has their
advantages and disadvantages. Personnally, I play on Buffet RC Prestige
instruments. I have played on standard R-13s, and the R-13 Prestige, and
have tried others. I have had my set of RC Prestige since June 1985, and
would not trade them. That's MY preference. You need to try out
instruments and determine YOUR preference.

Subject: [kl] Advice on sound cards

I would like some advice about the best sound card to buy. I am using a
PC, Windows 98. This is strictly for personal use (ie. does not need to
be recording engineer quality or price), but would like to transfer data
from mini disc to computer with reasonable integrity. I would assume
that I would need optical inputs to do this, as well as line input.

I looked in Klarinet archives, and found a brief discussion about the
Prodif 24. Is there something reasonable on the market for less money?

I don't have a sound card now; when I had my computer built, I decided
to wait and install a "good" sound card rather than pay for the
soundblaster that came with standard package.

TIA

Janet

me the best clarinet to buy :-) >
