Hi, my name is Tony Ramirez from Tampa, Florida, and on behalf of Expert Village, this is audio for your pc. Okay, let's talk briefly about a professional audio system for your computer. This right here is actually a digital design end box. This is run by your software that will be loaded onto your computer. So with this system, the beauty of it is, of course, it's portable, it's very light. You go ahead, with this system, you have all the controls in the front, and then like I said the computer or software will actually control all the other features. On the back you have all your inputs. So you'll go ahead and you'll plug in your microphones or your guitars or whatever you're actually going to record to make your music, your next big hit. You go ahead and plug those in here. You have some other quarter inch inputs that you can actually plug in mixers or any other peripherals, audio peripherals that you're going to plug into here. And you have your digital audio inputs, and of course you have quarter inch headphones out and this is all run by USB, so you'll go ahead and plug in your big end of the USB cable into here and then your other end will go winding, winding, winding, either into your laptop or into your desktop, that's completely up to you. But this is a professional version of audio recording and playback. The software, like I said, will control the actual playback but it'll come out of here whether you're going to use your small headphones jack, your big headphones jack, or if you've got speakers actually plugged into it. You can use any of these pc speakers that we've been using also because, through the headphones jack, you can pretty much plug up anything. So if you're going to be doing any major recording with your pc, go ahead and get yourself something like this. Or you can go ahead and get yourself an internal card that'll do something the same because there's a bunch of versions out here. This is my particular one. I like it and I'm sticking to it. But go ahead, try it out. Maybe you'll have the next big hit on the radio.
Very interesting videos, but can someone install an audio card, lets say Creative Labs audio card, into their computer even though they have an on-board audio system? So as to add more stereo speakers?
