- You can order creative lab 's SB development kit. It contains
- some C library functions for you to manipulate data with a
- sound file.
-
- I have tried using that to do some signal processing stuff. Remember
- SB VOC format is only 8 bit and the board itself doesn't have good
- shielding for A/D input. So don 't be suprised if your data has a
- high noise floor (about 45 - 50 dB).
-
- If you do it for fun, sound blaster is quite adequate. But you
- are serious then I suggests using Turtle Beach or Pro Audio Spectrum 16.
- SoundBlaster did come out with their 16 bit ASP board. But again, when
- I check out their board, I don 't see they do a good job in shielding the
- analog ground plane.
-
- If you are doing signal processing stuff just for fun, I think SB is an
- inexpensive solution. I have done something like sampling frequency
- conversion, time compression and expansion. It 's really fun.
