if you are looking at serious audio applications then that sound card is a piece of shit

What price range you looking at?

if you can afford it go for the 0404 - but you will get more value (and less latency) with a PCI card

I got an m-audio audiophile usb off ebay for about 70 quid i think, it has issues with my laptop, but i am moving to a desktop in a bit. If your CPU is a bit shit, a la me, it kicks up a fuss whenever you try to do too much at once, you get some weird distortion and pitch shifting going on. Glitchy as fuck, but i wouldn't say in a good way.

Don't let that put you off, provided you don't have a computer that is absolute cack, and don't open up the internet while running your DAW, everything will be fine. I think, it doesn't do it on anyone else's computer, have tried using it with my mate's old-ass pc, and his is all clogged up with software of questionable origin and suspect videos, so it must just be how lame my lappy is.
