I've been looking into possibilities for mixing with my laptop. My desktop is my audio-recording machine with the M-Audio Delta Omni Studio, but it would be nice to take my laptop somewhere besides my room at school, and mix on my headphones.
I see that E-MU has some options, but they're recording PCMCIA cards with breakout boxes. I also have found a card by Echo, called the Indigo I/O - with one 1/8" out for a high-quality headphone out.
I'm wondering if anybody has had any experience with any higher-end laptop soundcards, as I'm looking to buy soon (about to record a full-length CD in studio, and I want to mix outside of my room as I had said earlier).
My price range is around $200, which limits things a bit, I know - but it's what I have left after buying books, cameras and other art supplies.
Thanks!
