best stereo system software? |
|
|
my stereo was a nice vintage pioneer sx-838, connected to my computer
tv, vcr, 5 disk cd changer, 2 10 band dual eq's, suround sound decoder
and 3 other external amps plus 2 in the decoder and pioneer stereo.
had 2 12 inch 1000 watt car subs in here too, on a car amp powered by
100 amp 12v power supply I built. it wasn't the highest quality
smallest, or easiest to use, but I was proud of it and I liked it
unfortunately, I need to clean out a bit so I have a little more spac
in here, so everything's taken apart and put in storage for now. here'
what I'm looking for:
I'd like to do a new pretty complex system again, but do everythin
with my computer. I'd like to use the 5.1 onboard sound card for outpu
and add a second sound card for inputs (am/fm, tv/vcr...) I need a nic
piece of software that can be customized enough for my needs. I'
looking for a sort of virtual home theator system that can work with
sound cards and link them. any ideas

I think you need to do more research because your question is too broad for
a simple answer like a list of parts you are expecting.
Here is what I would suggest:
Make a list of the kinds of software (records, CD's movie) that you have or
want to get.
Make a list of the work flows you want to perform
Do you just want playback or do youwant to record also
Obtain a computer system that can perform these functions
Obtain a software system that does the workflow
Obtain the hardware that the proposed software requires, ie. soundcard and
hard disk, cd writer etc.
Test the hardware / software for the proposed workflow
Obtain a playback system such as amplifier and speaker and projector or TV
Begin assembly of the media library |

Most computer audio interfaces have both inputs and outputs,
all on one card.
Why use two pieces of hardware to do that which one can do
well? |
