Sound Blaster Digital Music Premium HD VS Apollo

[SOS]

Sound Blaster = SBX Prostudio

Sound Blaster Digital Music Premium HD is a product that uses SBX ProStudio and brings you closer to the sound of Apollo.
Sound Blaster has much better sound when I tried all genres

SBX Prostudio Settings
Surround 40%
Crystalizer 65%
Bass 18%
Smart Volume OFF
Dialogs OFF

By default, all settings are turned off, so try this. Glows blue when turned on
I tried the ATR-102 for mastering, but there was no difference in which audio interface was best.

Please note that Sound Blaster requires you to lower the volume on your PC to 7, and after installation, the volume will increase to 63. Apollo 47= SB 7 / For this reason, operating with the sound on will destroy your ears.

I'll try to see if I can make the best changes in the mix.

I had no idea Sound Blasters still exist.

What you are turning on are the digital FX that are supposed to “enhance” mp3 playback. It’s a combination of EQ and possibly expansion (going from the literature). It only effects playback so it may sound “better” but its not an accurate representation of what is being printed to disk.

Exactly. Sound Blaster Digital Music Premium HD is an audiophile audio card and uses SBX Prostudio to enchance the sound. But only on output.
It can't be compared to any serious studio audio interface or card which should be clean / flat as possible.
