Thomas - So you still own the hardware? I sold mine to some nice bloke in Australia and seldom looked back. I do something think I might get a copy of M-Powered to play with. I think LE supported 18 channels but I can hardly remember. There were something like 8 analog inputs on the LE hardware, along with one ADAT and stereo spdif for 18. I wouldn't be surprised if Digi decided to keep that constant. I've only seen M-Powered operating with a small M-Audio card, forget which one, but 4 channels or something. M-Powered was a nice idea for folks who wanted to try Pro Tools but weren't going to buy a real system. - Mark On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 4:50 PM, Thomas Vecchione <seablaede@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > M-Powered and LE are essentially the same, except LE can support the DV > toolkit, where M-Powered cannot.
