I'm thinking about picking up an Audiomedia II or III card. I'm curious as to the advantages/disadvantages of using one of these versus the Mac's built-in sound hardware. Oh yeah, does anyone know if Sonicworx Power Bundle supports the old Audiomedia cards? I was thinking that maybe this software would perform a little better if it had a DSP sitting in a PCI slot.

For my purposes the build in sound was sufficient. I used Coaster and pecked away at digitizing all my vinyl. If you want to work with more than two tracks, or you wish to explorer the world of effects, especially real time effects, you will want a sound card. If your hardware is 68030 or earlier or a a 68LC040 you will also probably need a card. Machines from the AV Quadras forward are all fast enough to handle two channel recording on their own. bill

But it's fun. Quote If you want to work with more than two tracks, or you wish to explorer the world of effects, especially real time effects, you will want a sound card.

I'm using a beige G3. I want an Audiomedia III as it appears to be about the cheapest I can find for tinkering with. I'm in love with all of the meters that SonicWORX PowerBundle offers. I need to get another cheap mixer so that I can actually hear the realtime tinkering that I do. lol. SonicWORX Powerbundle is a really fun piece of software.
