For soundcards RME and M-Audio are youre best bet,
avoid USB if you can.
The processor doesnt really matter, but you probably want something with
decent floating point performance, so a Pentium 4 or Athlon XP. You want
512+ MB of ram.
This is interesting... What would be a solution for a laptop where
PCMCIA is not available?
I'm tempted to purchase a 12" G4 Powerbook soon, mainly for portable
recording, but the only way to get audio into the thing would be via USB
or FireWire.
I'm looking to use a Jack/Alsa, Ardour, Muse, Fluidsynth setup in
Linux. 2 channels is fine, but 4/6/8 would be nice.
Does anybody know of a solution to this?
