sound card recommendation

In article writes:

what i really wanna know is if anyone thinks mixing the 8 adat tracks
down to the comp, then adding a few bells and whistles will make for a
better sound than just recording straight to computer.

Depends on how you record the tracks. The ADAT will probably make the
recording process easier because you don't have to fumble with a
computer, but of course you'll need a mixer so you can hear what
you're doing while you're tracking. If you don't have that, then you
might as well record straight to the computer.

It's not too hard these days to buy an 8-channel audio interface
("sound card") that has better sounding A/D converters than an ADAT,
but if you're asking about whether an ADAT is better than recording
straight to the computer using the sound card that came with it, then
I'd give a resounding "yes."
