我有一个小问题。我的一个朋友正在使用 ableton live 8.1 和reason 5 制作音乐。首先，他有一张 Creative Audigy 2（带 midi gameport）内置卡。我将他的卡换成了带前置托架（X-Fi）的 Creative Music 内置卡，因为我认为那个会更好。
现在他认为 Audigy 2 是一款更好的卡。
有人能告诉我根据规格这是否属实吗？
哪种创作卡更适合音频/ midi 创作？

答案1
就您而言，XFI 卡上装有更好的芯片。
Audigy 2 搭配：EMU10K2（16 位、400 万个晶体管、200 MHz、64 个 DirectSound3D 声道）
XTremeMusic 搭配：EMU20K1（24 位、5100 万、400 MHz、10,340 MIPS、128 个 Direct3D 声道
）
但如果你的朋友只是创建 MIDI - 他不会使用这种能力。其他组件如 ADC、DAC 等 - 接近或相同）
