Rather, it's meant to be used as an expansion to another PC card. The DB50XG is not a full PC soundcard, in that it doesn't work on its own. Here's hoping that Yamaha's new soundcard - the DB50XG - is the first of many. On the contrary we're more than happy to have music companies, as opposed to computer companies providing hardware, since they should know what musicians want. Well, Yamaha has now clearly decided that the computer market is a fertile one, and they're going into PC soundcard production with a vengeance - to the point where they're making other manufacturers a bit nervous, to say the least. We also implied that the Sound Edge possibly heralded a quite new outlook on Yamaha's part. Panicos Georghiades and GABRIEL JACOBS dig the new breed.Ī few months ago, when we reviewed the Sound Edge - Yamaha's first multimedia PC soundcard - we noted that for all these years Yamaha had played a backstage role, by producing sound chips for other soundcard manufacturers without developing its own card. Yet the DB50XG harnesses your PC soundcard's processing power as never before. When a musical giant like Yamaha start putting their name to daughter boards, you know something's up.
