[linux-audio-user] Hardware recommendations for recording

[Matt Barber]

->I'd only recommend USB for a Laptop. PCI is much easier to set up and
works more reliable. You also get "more bang for the buck" with PCI
cards, as USB cards tend to be a little bit overpriced. But if you're
on a budget and need one card for both laptop and stationary machine
(or if you hate screwdrivers), then USB is fine as well. It provides
enough bandwidth for high quality stereo recordings.<-


If you wanted to up the price a little bit, you could get something like
an RME HDSP Multiface, or a related card, that would allow you to use
the same unit with a PCI card in one machine and a cardbus on your
laptop.
