Effects-loop outside the soundcard?
Hi! <BR>I have a question for you guys: would one be able to use a computer soundcard as an fx loop? ie: send out sound from the computer to an fx processor, and then back on the computer to be recorded? <BR>thank you

You have to check the specs of the sound card in question. Some DSP based soundcards (like the one i use) can do this. On most normal PC soundcards you will get an unwanted delay. <BR> <BR><FONT COLOR="ff0000">Administrator's Note: When you come up with a new question please post it in the appropriate directory!

i mean: look at the features list of your sound card (in the manual or on the manufaturers website) and check whether they specify the input and output latencies (=delays) which should be very low. You will note those latencies as an unwanted delay.
