need help and advice on this one......

i can no longer get the proper driver support for my soundblaster audigy 2zs platinum pro(its a looooong story)....i need some new gear but i don't know what to get,here's the probs.....

i have the subwoofer and the 5.1 speakers in working order which was very very good for led zep dvds and pc music in general (youtube and cds and stuff)

sometime down the line i may want to record stuff on my pc with my guitar ( maybe sonar producer or something) and i understand that a quite different type of speaker and audio interface is required for that job?

is there a good card available that i could use my speakers with and have the sound come from ALL the speakers as opposed to just the two channels?(the new driver support will not let me upmix my sound to the 5 desk top speakers)creative lab "support"is legendary BTW

if i bought a set of the studio speakers for DAW would the led zep dvds sound any good on them,would i get that nice bass reponse that i got from my old subwoofer?

my old card has died and i can find nothing to relace it with.i am prepared to spend some money. i have just bought BIAB, GUITAR PRO 6(which is just great) and a whole new PC set up except for the sound card!!

this is me old kit.....i am NEVER going with creative again

There are plenty of good quality sound devices to pick from these days.

If you really dig what you got from the subwoofer setup, consider moving to a good nearfield monitor 2.1 setup and amp system or speakers with built in amps.

2 stereo speakers plus subwoofer.

Your ledZep should sound as good or better that way, plus mixing your own guitar will be a LOT simpler when dealing with the two channel stereo output (the subwoofer will just enhance bass response for both) rather than adding the complication of trying to do surround sound mixes that will have to translate to many other listener's systems well.

Get one of these with a set of BX series speakers -
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/SBX10.html

I like BX8a deluxe.
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/StudiophileBX8aDeluxe.html

Although I find the subwoofer not very 'necessary' with the BX8a's for recording, you may like it for DVD's.
The BX8a's get down to the low 30Hz range on their own. The sub would cover about 32 down to 20. The sub would carry more load if used with the BX5 series.

As for soundcard, are you using the PCI slot still? If so M-Audio cards have great support. My 1010lt has reliable drivers for win 7 (64 & 32 bit), vista and XP available.

hi and thanks...:)

what about these CX5s?
http://www.musicradar.com/gear/all/recording/monitors/studiophile-cx5-223966/review

...and the 1010lt sound card,is that all i would need for my BIAB guitar pro DVDs and general sound duties?

i take it the sound card is the internal one like the audigy? i like the look of the card . is compatable with the CX5 speakers?

one last question my friend....if i wanted to go to recording guitars at a later time down the road i would still need an audio interface .yeah?

Nothing else needed....

That 1010lt will serve as the input from your guitar and/or vocal mic and/or mic'ed or midi drum set and/or mic'ed guitar amp and/or midi keyboard, for doing any and all recording you would need. The 1010lt is a PCI card which inserts into you PC, if you have the right PCI slot. Also works great with GuitarPro 6.

i actually disable my internal PC sound card - although both can run at the same time.

The soundcard works fine here with the latest drivers. I'm aure there was a period in time where people had issues with Win7 when it first came out, and most complints I saw were older, from it was first released. I know others using it in Win 7 with no problems also, same new drivers.
* ins and 8 outs. With some work you could set up a pseudo 7.1 system (using all 8 outs). In theory anyway. The guys I know that have the card love the ease of use and the flexibility inside the 1010lt mixer. It's a seperate routing scheme that works great with PGProducts in our experience.

As for speakers; the BX8a Deluxe can be had for $349 or so a pair if you look around. Great value there. Incredible detail is what I noticed .. oh, and they are loud. I rarely get mine even close to half volume.

Not many bad reviews on these out there these days, lots of compliments. The CX5 is discontinued in the familiar places I look. Some places have cut the price in half on remaining stock. Not a good sign. BX8a has been around a while and continues to sell well.

The BX8a are part of the system the subwoofer I llinked was designed for. The website mentions it being designed for the BX series monitors, which includes BX8a and BX5a. You may like the 5a's as they are smaller and not so loud. But yes, the subwooder can be added later. It has been done many times.

For most work here I do not use the subwoofer, but I can see times when it would be nice, like DVD's.

As far as that soundard, it's a steal for most musicians. The ability to record 8 audio inputs at once (or 16 or 24 or 32 if you chain more cards together) is valuable.

I bought the card, and a 32 channel mixer that has 8 subgroup out and found I was in demand because I could record a performance. It had to be submixed usually to get down to 8 tracks, so I did things like put 6 mics on the drums, mix them as a stereo subgroup and record them to two tracks, but I got it done.
Then I got a second 1010lt and sync'd them, and by using the 8 AUX outs from the mixer I could now record 16 tracks in a live setting. The equipment paid for itself in a couple years. Now I usually just use one card and record bands in the studio (I hate moving the system around). I do have both cards installed and hooked up to a 48 slot patchbay. First sixteen slots are 1010lt inputs, from 48 on down are the 16 outputs. Makes things easy for connecting. The mixer is usually wired up for use with all the ins, but like I said; when I record in a studio setting I rarely need that many ins so I only enable one card.

If you needed even more in's you could connect the guitar players amp and keyboards digitally using the s/pdif inputs and thus having 10 in's per card. 8 audio and 2 digital. That's why they call it the 1010 instead of the 8/8

Same one I linked earlier; it was designed by m-audio for those speakers.
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/SBX10.html

"Designed for use with the M-Audio CX and BX Deluxe series"
I'd suggest getting 'BX5a Deluxe' if available as opposed to BX5a (older)

There was BX5, then BX5a then BX5a Deluxe and each is an improvement (same with the 8 series). The 'Deluxe' improvement was a big improvement for the 8a series in reliability. 5a's didn't seem to have the same issues.
The 8's also take quite a bit more room, need to be ready for that if you go that route. 5's are smaller which works better for many people. I built a custom desk for the 8's so they sit in the right spot for me when I am working.

this is indeed unfortunate. I have to admit that while my M-Audio is working fine under Win 7 there is indeed a lot of rumbling on the web about their Win7 drivers.

they have recently released a new beta:

Beta Version: Delta Series Version 6.0.5
Release Date: March 14, 2011
Applies to: Delta 44, 66 (OmniStudio), 410, 1010, 1010lt, Audiophile 24/96 & 192 devices.
Operating Systems Supported:
(32-Bit) XP SP3, Vista SP2, Windows 7
(64-Bit) Vista SP2, Windows 7

But the complaining continues (even I would not change to the update since what I have is working for me). have to admit if I was in the market I may look elsewhere.

The most recent complaint I see at Amazon is dated August 6, 2010 ..
Not sure I would worry much about complaints about the new OS drivers a year ago ..
The complaints have let up since then, which is about the time the drivers were released.
Just sayin'

This is almost expected response for an existing card on a new OS. I know a few Win 7 (64 bit) systems that run it just fine with new drivers. M-Audio has been top-notch with driver support in my opinion.
YMMV

Where are you seeing the complaining still?

thanks for all your input guys

Over in the M-Audio Forum...

Here is the most recent word from M-Audio on the subject of Delta Drivers for win7 just days ago..


Delta Driver 5.10.00.5076 Posted 05-31-2011
Hello Delta Community,

Our latest Windows Delta driver release (Installer Package 6.0.5 with Driver 5.10.00.5076) was posted to solve a compatibility problem with newer series motherboard chipset and CPU combinations from Intel. The problem identified was a low level distorted audio occuring with Core2Duo and i-Series processors. The sound in question resembled bacon sizzling while. Despite this one fix, we here in the Test and Customer Support groups stressed pretty heavily over whether or not to release this driver to full release knowing that there are other outstanding issues with the driver.

We felt that the severity of the issue was great enough to push this to full release for those users wishing to use the card in newer system configurations. The outstanding issues already identified by our customers are still being considered for possible future releases.

We encourage you to download and use this new driver and continue to provide us feedback on your experiences with this driver over the previous releases.

Sounds like m-audio is being pretty upfront and honest with it. Actually, for a support site, the problems reported are not very alarming to me.
I can only imagine being in the position of responsibility for compatability with new chipsets and such.

I usually research a bit on the system compatability before purchasing. But I know others that haven't, and their new off the shelf Win 7 64 systems are working fine with the newer 1010lt drivers.
Personal experience, YMMV
