i'm sorry if this is a silly question.
i'm considering getting a new notebook. i've heard lots of things about issues about recording with sound cards that are not "ASIO". you can get latency and delay in your recording, etc. it is my understand that the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook (Link) is an "ASIO" sound card. one of the notebooks i was considering has this, and the fact that it is "ASIO" caught my eye. i plan to make small recordings via the Lexicon Alpha USB Desktop Studio (link) plugged into a recording program on my pc. my question is if this "ASIO" soundcard will be benificial if i'm not plugging anything into it. using the lexicon i would connect to the PC via USB, instead of a line in on the Soundblaster. thank you for reading. please tell me i'm not making any sense, or if it sounds like i have no idea what i am talking about.

It sounds like you know what you are talking about and think about your actions logically
 I think this interface can be a soundcard on its own, so you don't need to use the SOundblaster at all - which is a good thing. In your host application where you do all the recording etc. just choose it as your main ASIO card. The Lexicon has its own ASIO drivers, and the hardware is - off course a lot better for DAW than X-FI which is a more mainstream gamer card. You'll be ok with this one Also try the Toneport UX1 if you haven't allready. It is practically the same device, but Tonport is 20$ expencier because it has Gearbox. I think it is worth it. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
