[PlanetCCRMA] The future of low-cost laptop-aided music

[Mr.Freeze]

As the NAMM Show is behaving rowdily, the low-cost external soundcard market is
taking off. Let's just list three of the newly available
behind-the-300-ish-bucks-bar FireWire or USB 2 24/96 fully compliant audio
interfaces: M-Audio FireWire Audiophile, Terratec Aureon 7.1 FireWire, Behringer
B-Control Audio BCA2000. Is it definitely time swapping the good ol' noisy piece
of furniture for a laptop?
