Looking for a sound card

I managed to break my minijack audio-in and can't record anymore. I get static/humming from my speakers right now and I'm considering buying a new sound card (with some 1/4" audio-ins and midi and Mic input hopefully).
I have a G4 with Mirrored Drive Doors, purchased in 2004.
Does anyone know what types of sound cards will work with my machine/ what specifacations I need to look for?
I've never purchased anything like this and don't really know where to start researching.

I'd second WWJD's recommendation. A digital coaxial cable goes to my Onkyo receiver from my Quicksilver - iTunes never sounded so good...!

Looking for a smart card reader compatible with Mac OS X 10.5

Hi there,
I am looking for a smart card (card with microCPU) reader which is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 .
In substance, what I need is a little space to store all my passwords in, due to the fact that I might forget one: I have many to remember!
I have an USB key, but I use it in many computers, even in ones whose security cannot be 100% trusted.. and I want no doubt when talking about safety.
Here's an image of what I want in poor words:

The main issue is that most SC readers are /not/ Mac compatible.
So what brand should I opt for ? What costs should I expect ?
Thank to everyone who'll help.

Thank you for your answer.
This might be a solution, I'll take it seriously.
Can this other be a solution too ?

On the manufacturer's page, it's stated that it's compatible with Mac OS X.
41 bucks + shipping + the price of a smart card..

Looking for internal memory card ready

Looking for internal memory card ready for dual 450mhz g4 (gigabit)
Want to put it in the 3.5" slot the ZIP® drive was in.
Anybody know of any good/compatable ones?
thanks

I have never seen an internal media card reader designed to fit in a Mac. Most are designed for the PC to fit in a 5.25" optical drive bay. If you could somehow modify one of those units to fit in your machine, you would still need a USB card with an internal connection to service the card reader.

Looking for good sound module/card for AE CS4 and AE CS5.5 Echo Audio not working proper

Hi,
I have two different computers, one with AE CS4 and a other one with AE CS 5.5.
On both systems ( Windows 7 64) my Echo audio fire4 sound-module driver is not working proper
and crashing AE. Despite the latest updates from Echo. When I uninstall the driver the problems
are gone!
That's the reason I'm looking for a good stable sound-module (FireWire) to work with Premiere Pro
and AE.
Thanks! David

Looking for surround sound

I have a set of 5.1 speakers for my computer, but I am only getting stereo sound from the Front L/R and Sub channels when listening to music(mp3's). I've read this is because this format is for stereo sound only and so it won't play on the other channels.
So I was looking into getting the Creative DDTS Decoder. This should ouput any sound from my computer and other devices to full surround sound right? Is there any alternative to this? I would think that there are sound cards out there that would do this, I have an older model Soundblaster Live! series card currently. Any help with my situation?

Hey thanks for the replies!
Through the Creative AutoUpdate check (and using the model # SB000) it looks like I have the Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 card. I just did an upgrade installing the Sound Blaster Live! package, but that did not include the Playcenter app that nvidiot was referring to.
Should I download the Playcenter download for Creative Sound Blaster Live! cards (ver 3.02.70) to find this CMSS option?

Raid Card, what to look for in a card?

Hi guys,
Im looking for help on what to look for in a Raid card. Im new to Raid, but i have read the tweakers pages and it seems like the way forward.
Im a full time editor working with AVC-Intra footage doing fast cuts. Im about to ditch my 2008 mac pro and build a up to date PC around the i7 4930k. Im planning on running 8x3-4tb drives for footage; raid 5, 3x3tb raid 3 for exports, maybe 2x256 ssd raid 0 for boot, 2x3tb drive for page file and media cache, and maybe 3x3tb for stock footage raid 0.
Im totally lost in what to look for in a Raid card?
Cheers Ryan

For 13 drives is there a cheaper option?
Yes, Areca 1882ix-16, 1264IL-16, Intel RS2WG160, LSI 9260-16i - or for that matter, any RAID controller with 13+ internal connections. There are much cheaper controllers from Highpoint and others, as well.
If your next question is, is it worth it going cheaper? ...Usually not for me personally - at least certainly not with Highpoint or other entry level controllers with subpar support and all kinds of performance and reliability problems. Even Tier 1 controllers aren't exempt from them.
That said, I am curious about Intel and LSI controllers I listed above. The LSI one especially so given the availability of SSD caching and other neat features.
Hope this helps.

Looking for PCI SCSI card for G5

I've just learned my old SCSI PCI card (5 volt) from my G4 won't work in the G5 (3.3 volt PCI slot).
I'm looking for a 50-pin SCSI PCI card, 3.3v, that will work in a G5 & with OSX ... any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm interested to know if this is the plain old Adaptec 29160N or the Adaptec PowerDomain 29160N. I made a similar upgrade 4 years ago and I had an identical problem. I never got my old scanner to work. The ratoc SCSI--Firewire bridge didn't support multiprocessors, and the Adaptec PowerDomain card was prohibitively expensive. Due to the lack of updated drivers for the scanner, VueScan was necessary in either case, if remember properly.

Looking for External Sound Device for iBook G4

Does anyone know of an external audio device similar to Creative Technology's Sound Blaster Extigy that will work with my iBook G4? I would like to record CDs played through an external CD player that has audio compression. Unfortunately the iBook lacks audio inputs. Thanks.
Don Squires

Perhaps this is what you're looking for:
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/SonicaTheater-main.html
I had an Extigy with my previous notebook (presario 1500) and absolutely loved the sound I got through my creative 5.1 speakers, at least when my computer was working properly
I see the sonic theatre as the mac equivalent, although it doesn't appear to have a remote, oh well. I have no idea how much of the software will work on a mac, but it can't be too hard to find some good audio software.

Looking for Rickenbacker sound as software instrument or sample library

Hi everybody,
does anybody here know if there is any kind of software instrument pout there or a sample library that can be used for a (demo) substitution for a Rickenbacker bass guitar sound?
You know, this incredibly and unmatched elastic and rumbly bass guitar sound that can send your stomach on a roller coaster ride...

Hey Trey,
Are you looking for loops to create music, or pre-existing music beds? For loops, I've used bandmate loops - http://www.bandmateloops.com - most of them sound really good to me. I don't really use music beds in my projects.
If you're looking for sound effects and don't need loops, STP can work with several formats, so there are the large cd libraries if you're looking for lots of (expensive) choices, or if you just need a couple of sounds you're not finding, you could try a site like http://sounddogs.com. They have thousands of downloadable effects, and you pay based on the number and length of the effect. I've used them before, and they were really convenient. They also might have music beds available, but they most likely won't be in apple loop format.
Hope this helps!

Looking for Helicopter sound effect

Ive come close to creating it by altering a synth basic sound, but its still off a little. Any ideas?

Are you looking for a helicopter sample, or an AU that makes your pre-existing sound into a helicopter effect?
If it is the former, Hang and Christoph gave you some nice examples, and you can do a google search for "Helicopter Sound Effects."
If it is the latter, this free au plug in does a nice job of simulating it.

Recommendation for good sound card for test & measurem

There are quite a lot sound card based oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, signal generator softwares, such as multi-instrument?. An ordinary?sound card?can only measurement signal within 20Hz~20000Hz range (with flat frequency response),? I would appreciate it very much if anyboday here could recommend a sound card that can extend the above frequency range as?wider as possible, towards both the lower end and higher end.

Such software is pure bullhit, because every soundcard has its flaws, wich will render the results unuseable. And the next point: most soundcard- drivers and the OS itself are changing the signal in a different manner. Maybe vollume boost, or reverb effects, some signal changing to get better results in terms of audio quality and signal clarity, and so on. Get a Oscilloscope. Maybe you will need to sell your house for a good one, but this is the only good solution ^^?The best soundcard for this purpose is not a real soundcard, but a recording card. There are some expensi've models out there, especially terratec or EMU. (I dont know really if EMu is selling REAL recording cards)Message Edited by fffcmad on 0-5-20082:24 PM
