Ok, thanks.

I looked at the m-audio NRV10 initially as it has the full 10 channel return plus an extra XLR/preamp and inserts on all channels but it's £130 more expensive for it. I'd be using it for relay recording anyway not live mixing of multiple sources and I don't do any surround work so i'm not sure it's worth it. Not to me anyway, cheers, pete. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
