I can use it as my sound card, but it lacks certain desirable
features, such as S/PDIF input. Not to mention I'm not sure that it
was really designed to be a sound card, especially for recording
purposes. Furthermore, I can only use the built-in DSP on incoming
analog signals, not the input coming from my machine (via JACK->USB)
even though it will output anything I send it through JACK. If I had a
separate soundcard with mutliple analog outputs I could patch
individual tracks from it into my synth to do some extra DSP (it has
some nice reverb/delay/chorus effects built in).
Although now that you mention it, I can put up with any shortcomings
the synth has, I just bought my first pair of studio-grade headphones
anyway, and I've still got college to pay for. ;p
Nonetheless, I've learned quite from your responses (and the resulting
research that followed), and eventually I'll use this knowledge to
make the right choice.
Cheers,
