Just to put a different spin on this, I have bought a couple of M-Audio products and find them to be elegant, minimalist, and cheap (in a good way). Basically they have the exact functionality I need for the cheapest price. I have taken one of the units (uc33) to several gigs, and across the country a couple of times, and it's worked flawlessly for a couple of years. I bought it second hand. Also, they work just fine with Linux's usb-audio and usb-midi drivers so I can ditch the driver CD that comes with them and I know nothing about lock-in/tie-in attempts with any other (windows) software. I have no association whatsoever with M-Audio, I just like these two products of theirs I've bought and thought I'd add my 2c. Best, Chris. ------------------- chris@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://mccormick.cx
