Audacity Forum

Thanks. I have Windows 7 64-bit. I'm not seeing support for this OS from the art dual pre. Do you know which usb preamps work well with Windows 7 64-bit?

Wait I think I just discovered the m audio duo has just a stand alone adc/dac converter so that isn't what I need.

Or in other words does the sound card inside the m audio preamp bypass the pc internal sound card?

I mean for example If I only have a condenser mic and the m audio duo preamp. Are those two things enough?

I am just getting started with audacity and am first looking into proper equipment. First of all, my computer still has the stock sound card (high definition audio device) which I know isn't good. My question is if when I buy a mic preamp, do I now have a newer sound card for the audio to be process...
