ControlReady - Digital Audio Delivery, Radio Automation & Music Scheduling

Sound Cards that are compatible with ControlReady

NewsReady will work with all MME Windows *.WAV compatible sound devices. There is no need to buy specialized sound cards from us or dealers unless you need to do any of the following:

Play multiple things at the same time from the same computer/position
Record multiple things at the same time
Do any of the above and be able to mix files that have different sample rates
Have balanced analog (1/4" or XLR style connections), or have AES/EBU digital or S/pdif digital audio connections

More Information:
Some cards provide the computer "virtual outputs" which tricks our software (and other software products) into seeing multiple devices/cards and that's how we can play more than one thing at a time. Other cards have several physical outputs so that we can play through different faders on your console. For auditioning and editing, go with a simple consumer/inexpensive card. For onair-studio positions or recording positions, consider a more professional balanced audio card device.
We stock and sell several brands of cards we are familiar with which we test with regularly.
Due to the constant changing of card models and manufacturer drivers and windows operating systems, our policy with sound cards that if you ever find a sound card not performing to your liking, you can put any different model/brand you like in your computer. The cards listed below we are especially familiar with but they are by no means required with our software.
