Actually, I do wish that I'd gone the RME route from the start. But, I've got a pair of Delta 1010s and don't want to go through the hassle of switching over. Eventually, my computer will die and I won't be able to get a motherboard with two PCI slots to run those units. I'm hoping that Firewire sound adapters with pro specs and lots (>=16 full-duplex) of channels will be working flawlessly by then. For some amount of time Firewire might let me avoid motherboard specifics that impact which sound adapters I use. > just think of all the things you could do with your lappy then. Neither of my laptops is really all that powerful of a machine. One of them is a 700MHz Pentium II. But, I can run Audacity on them for post processing quite well, with patience that is. I was hoping for an answer that a piece of gear like one of these http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/MAudio-Fast-Track-Pro-Mobile-USB-Audio-MIDI-Interface?sku=241710 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/PreSonus-AudioBox-USB?sku=243007 would work. Even better would be something cheaper. :-) But, looking over the ALSA sound card matrix, it looks pretty sparse for things which operate via USB.
