I use an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card. With the KX drivers I get:
1. 6 separate outs for the band
2. 2 outs for effects return. The card is also my reverb unit
3. Hi pass & low pass filters so that all Freq. above 100Hz go to the left channel & below 100Hz go to the right channel. Built in crossover.
4. gates on all instruments & more really.
This for live.
