Which Audigy should I b

Hello,
I'm planning to buy a new PC. I wonder which sound card I should buy and install in the machine: an Audigy 2 ZS or Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro or even an Audigy 4 Pro?
I would like to connect my Roland keyboard to it (via MIDI) and a 7. speakerset.
Maybe someone could tell me what the differences are between the mentioned Sound Blaster cards. Of course I checked the Creative site, but maybe someone had the same question before.
Regards,
Andr?

"although the SNR is a HUGE step up"
+5db ? that's really huge (about the same difference between a SBli've24 and an audigy 2) but between 08db and 3db, I think the difference will be inaudible and unusefull if not needing ultra high quality recordings and if you have golden ears (used to have this but really too heavy to keep..ahem...sorry). :smileyvery-happy:
"the software that is included with the Audigy 4 is quite impressi've [...] Entertainment Center."
And what about the Multimedia Softwares ? Can now Wavestudio manage correctly WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE? Since Mediasource (or whatever it is called now) can record to this format its obvious someone might want to edit them. Is the midi package the same as ever ? etc...
Have your maketing departement ever though about a nice soundfont CD in the package (after all, this card is first directed to creation) :smileysurprised:
"This supports the use of Powerpoint, WinDVD, and PowerDVD, something a lot of people were asking about"
Cool, and what about the previous Creative products owners ? Will their be an update? Or do ou want us to buy another 300? card to have the expected functionnality on softwares. (yeah, my ZS Platinum Pro RM-500 is very useful to me, I use it to enable CMSS stereo On/Off, and it needs 0MB to do that...wow!).
"Ultimately it is the sound card I am currently looking at for my home system."
Of course you do, as I am if I want to say I've got the very latest (and best) hardware in all categories.
Ok, awmcillessen since you don't have to upgrade from any other audigy you should consider the audigy 4 Pro first, finally in all cases it will cost a bit more but you might only find advantages against the ZS Platinum Pro (that's nearly everytime the same thing when you buy the very latest one you know).

  • Sharepoint 2013 - Which Server Should Run Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service

    We have just deployed Sharepoint 2013 and also CRM 2011..
    Our Sharepoint 2013 Environment has a WFE and an APP server and we have a CRM 2011 box.
    We have been getting the following error in IE when Users in CRM are clicking on the Document Link under accounts which links to Sharepoint 2013
    "This Content cannot be displayed in a frame
    To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame."
    It seems like it is a IE Security Issue, but I am suspecting it could be the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service.
    Which server should be running the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service| WFE or APP.
    Also which server should run the Windows Service: SharePoint User Code Host
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Please have a look at the following post:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219591.aspx
    As it describes, the recommendation is for both services to start it on the Web Front End servers.

  • Multiple Apple ID's, which one should be main iCloud ID on iOS 5?

    Hey!  Seems like iCloud is a bit more complex to setup than I had thought it would be.  Here's the situation.  I have two Apple ID's.  One is my @me.com account that I just migrated to iCloud.  Second Apple ID is an @gmail.com account that I use for all of my iTunes purchases (also migrated to iCloud.  I know you can have multiple Apple ID's setup in iOS (by means of "Mail, Contacts, Calenders"), but there is only room for one account under the "iCloud" tab/setting under iOS settings.  Which one should be used here?  My @me.com, or the one I use for iTunes purchases? ...or does it even matter?  Just want to set everything up optimally from the start so I don't have to go back later and correct something.
    Thanks all for your assistance!

  • Firefox 4 seems to action on some html tags that are included within a html comment tag which it should not.

    Consider the following html code where I open a textarea and include a comment tag within the textarea. Within the comment tag (which Firefox 4 should ignore) I've included a close textarea tag. Firefox 4 (unlike FF3 and IE) closes the textarea.
    The following code is also available at
    http://www.cems.uwe.ac.uk/caa/ffbug/index.html
    We are about to start a textarea....<p>
    <pre><nowiki><textarea rows='20' cols='40'>
    Here is the textarea.
    Inside these comment blocks I'll put a close textarea tag which Firefox should ignore but does not.
    <p>
    <!--
    We are now inside comment blocks...
    <br>
    This code should be inside the text area.<br>
    </textarea>
    <br>
    and so should this code be <b>inside</b> the text area (but is not in Firefox 4).
    -->
    </textarea>
    <p></nowiki></pre>
    This code should be outside the textbox.

  • Why do I have both photoshop cc and photoshop cc (64 bit) in my menu? Which one should I be using?

    Why do I have both photoshop cc and photoshop cc (64 bit) in my menu? Which one should I be using?

    The majority of the time using the 64 bit version is better, since you have more resources available (ram)
    If you need to run some older third party plugins that were only ever offered as 32 bit plugins, then the 32 bit version is the choice.
    Or if you happen to use a scanner with twain, then the 32 bit version.

    I have a airport time capsule, an older airport extreme, and an older airport express.  I want to hard wire my Mac Mini to the network.  What is the best arrangement of the devices?  which ones should be hard wired to optimize extending the network?

    I am using TM Unifi with an ASUS RT-N18U Wi-Fi router.  I would like to know could I use Apple AirPort Time Capsule to extend (repeater, booster) my Wi-Fi to a part of the house where the Wi-Fi signal is poor
    Yes,, if you plan to connect the AirPort Time Capsule to the ASUS router using an Ethernet cable connection that will remain fixed and permanently installed at all times.
    No, if you were planning to have the AirPort Time Capsule connect wirelessly and extend the Asus WiFi signal, since it would not be compatible with another manufacturer's router for that purpose.
    Another way of saying the same thing here would be that if you want to extend the network wirelessly, it will take two Apple routers to do so

    Depends on how you want to use it. Flash storage on the newer macbook and macbook air are built in. A macbook air is the most light weight and a very good machine. It will do all you want it to do unless you are running some very intensive programs. If you go to the apple store on line you can compare  the different macbook pro" and macbook Air's.

  • Which ipod should I buy?

    I have bought ipod photo 30GB a month ago, I feel quite disappointed about its sound. I compare with my old ipod 3rd generation. ipod photo is quieter, and sounds a little bit worse in details.
    I would like to find an ipod which can give sound matching the quality of ipod 3rd generation, so loud and rich in details. So which one should i choose? new ipod colour? ipod mini? or ipod shuffle?
    Especially if you have listened more than one, please give an idea for me.

    Are you using the stock Apple earbuds still? They're not very good. You might want to try better headphones before you abandon the 30GB. I have a 40GB and recently purchased Etymotic 6i's -- they're great! Just a thought.

  • I am a student and need to do my assignments in word. Which application should I use as I have to save all of them in older word version like 2003 to send it to my teacher?

    I am a student and need to do my assignments in word. Which application should I use as I have to save all of them in older word version like 2003 to send it to my teacher?

    You could use Microsoft Office for Mac, but I would recommend iWork! It's a better set of applications for a much better price. I have used both and I prefer it over Office. And Pages can not only open Word documents, you can also save documents in Word format. My brother and I both used iWork as an Office substitute when we were in college (I graduated a few years ago and he just graduated last night) and haven't had any compatibility issues. Check it out here http://www.apple.com/iwork/

  • Which solution should I adopt? Applet or Java Web Start?

    Hi,
    I am developing a web application which should print cards through a printer in the client side.
    I would like to use a web start aplication to execute JNI calls in client side, but I am considering a possible solution the use of an Applet aplication to execute that.
    My question is "Which solution should I adopt?"
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Regards.
    Paulo R. A. Sales.
    Software Architect.

    I would go for Java Web Start, since it is:
    a wonderful tool
    easy to use
    gives you full control
    you don't have to start your browser to print them cards
    But wait for better qualified responses as I haven't written an applaet since school.
