Is the soundcard earth-shattering when creating MP3s? Will the soundcards specification be relevent to the quality
Will the soundcards specification be relevent to the quality of the resulting files if I am video recording from vinyl to PC?
Answers: Yes and no, the specifications will have little effect on your record quality as the encoding to mp3 is serviced by the processor not the nouns card (with VERY few exceptions) but the quality of the card will be artificial on the analog side if the card was built next to poor craftsmenship. Reaslisticaly it shouldn't be an issue unless you bought it from a street cart within a back nouns in Russia.
