I'm curious about the new Audigy 2 platinum eX, the specs on creatives homepage suggests that it's a good soundcard for my needs (and budget) but I'm reading a lot of bad things about creative in this forum. My budget is somewhere around 200-250us$ and I want a card for both recording, gaming and movies/music. 6 channels (even if they are unbalanced) simultanius recording is just what I'm looking for to be able to record drums on 5 tracks and the last one as a trash mix of bass and guitar. I have a good mixer to use as preamp but no fancy condenser microphones so my abilaties to good soundquality are somewhat limited anyway. Right now I just want something to get started with, at first I was thinking about getting a cheap soundcard (fortissimo III)for midiports and gaming and an audiotrak maya44 for recordning. Right now I have a videologic card with aureal 2 and it doesn't work very well under win2000 or XP so I need a new card anyway.
Does anyone have any experience of the Audigy 2 eX, does it deliver what the specs say? I'm mostly thinking about the 6 chanel recording in ASIO2 with 24/96.
In the future I'm looking at upgrading to a M-Audio Delta 1010, at least the light version but only when my budget allows a pair of good condensers to record with.
