I think there is no difference in guitar recording but you should have a good soundcard anyway if you want to mix things properly. Your PX5D is a guitar tool. What about drums, samples, DSP effects, more outputs for mixing...? All these things are not available from your unit. I have EMU 0404 and works great. You don't even need a mixing desk, it has it all included in the software.

That's also true. It will be a bit different but I don't think it would change the sound a lot. I was just saying that recording is possible either way.

I agree with Emir, the sound will not be that much different, it will be still coming from your unit.
Actually I would avoid using two AD/DA conversions as much as possible cause each one degrades the signal. First in converters in Pandora, and then converters in soundcard. Although if you get 0404 or 1212m, the converters are enough quality to not notice the difference at all. There is one more thing, I also plan to buy 1212m package soon, and I must say it is a very clever buy. Although it is a similar card to 0404 in terms of processing, it has much better converters that will surely make the difference. Also it has EDI interface, where you can connect their external box unit, or some other unit to support more inputs. And regarding P5XD to EMU, it you buy any EMU, use the EMU as ASIO card of course, and plug the P5XD to it - not because it will give you the better sound, but because EMU is a proper soundcard, and P5XD is, as Emir stated, more guitar tool then soundcard. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

QUOTE (kyldeee @ Sep 4 2008, 05:43 PM)  Ok, I bought ESI's Juli@ audio interface, and I have all the drivers and stuff installed....  Now I have some question about the connections.. correct me if I am wrong I connect my PX5D with a stereo klotz straight into my audiocard's Line In plug-ins ( no matter which goes right or left ) Then I just connect my two studio monitors ( which are BTW also ESI's  ) into the Line Out plug-ins ( here obviously right line out to the right speaker and the left speaker to the left speaker ) with a normal stereo plug-in.... Am I right???Congratulations on your new purchase mate. And yeah, this is pretty much how it goes.. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

You must enable monitoring of that guitar input before you hear the sound. You can do that in 2 ways.
1. Either you got some kind of application that goes along with your interface, and enables you to monitor the signal (similar how Gearbox app is bundled with Toneport interface) 2. Or you open some DAW, like Reaper or Cubase, open audio channel, choose input for that channel to be the input from your interface, and enable monitoring on that channel. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
