In our experience laptop soundcards are notoriously bad with introducing strange noises into recordings, 60 Hz or otherwise. And I read on auditory list sometime back that USB external soundcards are no good either. So, we are planning to use a Dell Desktop and do recordings in a sound booth. However, I wanted to find out if anyone has any experience with the kind of equipment that works best for it? Should we be careful about what kind of a soundcard do we use? Does anyone know which soundcards work best? Is there anything else that we should be careful about? Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated!
