OP is buying active monitors, so I'd say it's necessary. 100%
Also, spending over $1500 on a DAW machine and no sound card makes zero sense. But it's his/her money

 

I have never had one so i never heard the diff with soundcard and dont, can you recommend one thats not too pricy?

 

Never Sing with mic, dont have real guitar, piano, have bad headsets so thats why i thought i dont need one, did not know the eris speakers would sound so bad without a soundcard.

Well i googled and found out more What a soundcard does, is this a decent one? https://www.gear4music.se/sv/Inspel...E4ie_FW7GBhGjA5uY7skncW4wC8Bj5BQaAhEBEALw_wcB

 

I think I read somewhere Samsung QVO series are shizz, you'd better go for EVO series for sure!
nice spec apart from that cheapy SSD

 

Will take a look later. Have a Behringer Mixer here and the first knobs broke after a year or so. The crossfader was ruined after a couple of months. Year after year almost all channels stopped working (at first one side and then the other) and now there's just 1 channel for my headphones left over (will also buy a new mixer with the new pc). So even if it would be a good product, I wouldn't go with Behringer anymore.

 

Do you have a audio interface to recommend, i dont need something for real intruments or really for microphone, so its odd if i buy a pricy one because it has all these fetutures in it.

 

best interface you can get for a serious audio workstation is RME HDSPe AIO, it's PCIexpress, balanced XLR I/O, no mic pres, rock solid drivers, totalmix fx dsp

 

Ye, the RME HDSPe AIO is a perfect small card but he asked for something pricey and 600€ really isn't that pricey. Probably an external interface would work nicely.

 

Ye will go for external interface, how about this one for my 4.5 eris?

The computer i most likely will buy :
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 36MB
Powercolor Radeon RX 570 4GB Red Dragon
ASRock X570M Pro4
Ballistix 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL16
Samsung 860 EVO 1TB
Seagate Firecuda 2TB 7200rpm 64MB
Noctua NH-U12S

Then 4.5 Eris speakers, and will look for Audio interface

 

Both the Behringer and Presonus audio cards would be fine.
I would tend to favour the Presonus, as the quality and support/tutorial videos/website/manuals/DAW integration are better.

 

FWIW here's a video on the very subject of buying gear from a very good source. Check 5:32 for his opinion on speakers. Other musicians give their "rigs" at 9:30 ( from his high end version to budget one's) and a summary at the end. Watch the whole video, it's certainly worth it for anyone wanting to buy into the music industry.

 

Ill go for these: PreSonus AudioBox iOne iPad/USB and Eris 4.5, think that will be good. Next thing is how you setup these 2 and to the computer, really bad at that so will be intresting to see how it goes.

 

Presonus Eris series are nice, I have E8 as my mains, and E5 as secondary;
E4.5 and E3.5 are noticeably worse, so do consider if you could go for at least E5...

speaking of audio interfaces, Presonus has been very disappointing for me, last time I had 22VSL, it failed to work in newer version of Windows, because Presonus (similarly as most other manufacturers like M-Audio, Focusrite, not even talking about Behringer lol) simply don't give a sh!t about drivers and long-term compatibility;

if you want external audio interface, do save money for RME Babyface Pro and you probably won't need to buy any other interface within next 10 years

 

If you don't record, you don't need an external audio interface.
Still, you may want to buy an internal PCI card, cheap but still better than the motherboard one. Even if it's only for the native ASIO drivers.

 

Many sad that the audio from my monitor (eris 4,5) Will be better if i get audio card so, i dont know how to setup a regular internal so it has to be external lol, might not have to buy a pricy one tho

Maybe just something like this https://www.gear4music.se/sv/Inspel...6Vc8nNBQbTLQ8JMswnYN0H4t8IBDg7tUaAiXXEALw_wcB

 

You do not need to buy any audio interface right now, your motherboard sound card will be perfect fine.

Later if you want something not expensive that works get a Behringer U-PHORIA UMC204HD
http://caulixtla.com/JP-08/UMC204HD.html
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...ds/budget-dac-review-behringer-umc204hd.1658/

IF want something with very high quality and high performance get Babyface Pro http://babyface.rme-audio.de/

 

You sure? If i buy the Behringer, was very cheap, Will it make the audio from the speakers a bit better?
