Hey Peoples, I am currently looking into buying a computer used mainly for home recording. I am looking at soundcards right now and so far my main choice is an M-Audio Delta 66.

Has anyone purchased one of these or heard anything good about them? All the reviews Ive read on it gives it a 8.4 or higher out of 10.
Thanks alot guys

The new soundblaster cards are amazing in what they can record and play back, as well as a wide array of options.

I have an M-audio 7.1 sound card as I am more concerned with playback, but this damn thing is amazing. A guy I work with does quite a bit of home recording and he is using something cheaper than the M-Audio, but he said M-Audio is the cream of the crop for recording. I would say go for it if you can find it for a price that is exceptable to you. I got my card from pc-mall.com, but I dont know if they sell all of the m-audio stuff or not, I think they do.

Go with M Audio, they make excellent cards.
