You have a nice set-up there. Would also recommend any of the Focusrite Pro range, Pro 14, 24, 40 etc as the drivers are rock solid under all versions of Windows.

I have the Fast Track Altra and I had nothing but problems with it I heard nothing but pops and clicks when I would record something or use a vst plugin on my old Toshiba laptop and I had to learn the hardway that you can't run Sonar on a standard laptop and that is why I had to get a new laptop which is designed for audio and switch to the Mackie Onyx 1620i and the Motu midi express 128 because of my hardware synths that I have. ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Muir <mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2011 9:44 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: sound card Nope, nowhere near as good as the MOTU gear. You really do get what you pay for.
