Probably a non-issue for me as I'm fine with 48 kHz duplex the whole way. Concerning my 2nd question, would anyone of a more hardware-technical bent be able to tell me if none/any/all of the above interfaces have sufficient gain for an SM57 (supposedly 50 dB and above). Its tough to find such specs for any of the interfaces... _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
