Yes, that might seem a bit of a simple question, but since I never really got past the sound of Paula, I'm trying to find out more about their functionality and usability in my music-making hobby. I presume they can be used for playing CDs or MP3 files, but I already use my stereo set and PC for that use so I don’t need one for that.
However, for more creative purposes I might be interested in getting one. So here’s some questions:
-Which programs will profit from, or exclusively use such a soundcard in the creation of music?
-Can I use a soundcard for recording music to the Amiga (output from a mixer)? Up to what bitrate/quality? Is a standard A4000/040 any good for this purpose?
-Are there any soundcards which include a MIDI-interface?
And finally, just to be curious: what soundcard do YOU have, and what do you use it for/with?
Any info/help is welcome. :-)
