Is a person able to use two soundcards in one Computer. I have a SB Live! in there right now and would like another sound card to do some DJ stuff.
Thanks in advance

Yes, it can be done. But make sure you have the resources to do so. My cousin had both a Sound Blaster AWE64 and a S3 Sonic Vibes in his computer. One was for recording for his band, and one for gaming and whatnot. Get cards that are good at sharing resources. The two he had were both resource hogs, but were good at sharing, so they worked fine.

Yes, you should be able to use two if you have enough resources.

I've had the chance to keep a SB Live + SB AWE64Gold /w 28mb ram together in just about every system I've used.

Cool, yeah I have a SB Live right now and would just like another one to do some DJ stuff, PLUS I can hook one up to my receiver and one to my headphones :)
