Hi all... After my brief flirt with the Ultra-Low-End I decided it's time to look into something more fun. Following Paul's recommendations I looked into Apogee products and I have to say I like what I see. I want a mobile recording interface with excellent D/A conversion and four Mic pre-amps, preferably in one device. So the Apogee Ensemble looks very good. (Rosetta 800 might also be an option but I don't want to lug a rack to gigs and I'd be happier with a tried-and tested device for the complete analogue signal chain). My goal is ultimately to have an all-MIDI four person band, plus vocals, and do all mixing, synthing and FX processing on x86 CPU. Could I kindly be educated on the linux compatibility of the Ensemble please? Thanks tons. Carlo
