Agree with Mike C, and I actually own a saffire pro40 and love it. Planning
to get another 8 channel preAmp expanssion for it. I would have gone with
RMe, but it's expensive and control panel I'm not sure on.
As I said before, it all depends on what you have to work with, what you can
aford and how you like to work.
 
HTH, D!J!X!

Hi there its Mike C from Montreal. 
Like DJ said it all depends on your budget,how many in's and out's you need,
and how much of the control panel you are going to need for your setting.
I'm personally using the m-audio 2626 pro, and because I'm using a Mac, I
have a firewire on the system, and on the Mac OS the card is extremely
accessible in that I have control of the control panel software, and can use
Voice over to control levels, and routing configurations.
Another good card I can recommend is the focus rite pro 40, card which has
fantastic pre-amps, and with a set of Jaws hot spots you can use the control
panel of the sound itself, giving you access to control volumes, routing,
and monitor mixing.
AAnother good thing about focus rite is their manuals are extremely easy to
read, and are layer out in totally accessibility in reading.
Finally Motu make a good line of cards, but since I last remember rate
control panel was extremely inaccessible on both PC and Mac.
Finally if you really to go all out RME make a very good line of cards,
however are expensive, but you will never need another card if you go for
RME.
Hope this helps.

Also, I need something with good preamps, right now I'm using the Mackey
1202 vlz. I do have a separate preamp with two ins and outs which I use with
my delta card to enable me to record four tracks at once.

What's your budget? What kind of  connection capabilities does your new
computer have, firewire, PCI express, USB etc.
How much controll do you want over control panel and such, do you have
outboard gear like preAmps and such or do you need something with good preas
already in it?

HTH, D!J!X!

Hi: For a few years I've been waiting for caketalking to make 9 accessible
and although I purchased 8.5 I've never installed it. Been using 6; however,
I'm about to upgrade to 64 bit  with a new computer and sonar 8.5. Any
recommendations for workable sound cards and mixers to enable me to record
at least eight tracks at once? Thanks in advance.
