| bw_me99's Full Review: Creative Sound Blaster Live! Platinum |
Definently worth the price!
For what this gadget does, and the amount and quallity of the software it comes with, this baby is worth every penny!
Why I bought this:
I bought the Sound Blaster Live! with Live Drive because it was the top-of-the-line model sound card that best buy had. My old sound card worked fine, but would only record in crappy mono audio. I also wanted something that would support multi-track recording software. I use this for making near-professional sounding recordings of music.
Some of the best things it does:
This is no ordinary sound card! It does way way way way more. For instance, can any normal sound card play 32 wav files at the same time? I don't think so.
With this, you can record many tracks of stereo audio, just like a professional multi-tracking recorder, with CakeWalk Express Gold. You can also buy even fancier software and it will be perfectly compatible.
Another GREAT feature is the Creative Mixer. This hardware program lets you mix the different inputs, view the spectrum, change the effects, make effects, synth your own effects, edit bass and treble, and edit your speaker configuration!
Technical support is pretty good. I called a few times because I screwed up configuration changing OS's.
Please email me bw_me99@yahoo.com for ANY questions about this product or computers in general. I'm an expert!
