Just not with the Quattro. Which is a total piece of junk. I own one, I know it. Stay clear of the Quattro and - to make things simple - of all M-Audio USB devices as many are just crap. Having said that, there are many good USB devices, that do actually work. This ranges from simple inexpensive multichannel devices like the Audiotrak USB devs up to the Tascam USB devices or the Terratec Phase 26, which all provide high quality recording. I tested a lot of devices (~20) and most also worked decent with Jack. Of course, PCMICA cards have various advantages, but in general they tend to be much, much more expensive as well. Why not just try USB out - either from a mailorder which takes it back - or in a shop? Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
