    Chuckebaby, why do you have antivirus running while you use SONAR, or any other production type software? Just asking for problems like dropouts, stutters, mysterious audio engine shut downs, and disappearing files/work! just to name a few.

    I have a Focusrite ISA 428 pre and use it a lot ! I love it !

    Hope this helps !

    Have you considered this?
    http://www.amazon.com/1616M-PCIe-Digital-Audio-System/dp/B002VDQIP0

    I think pci e is better than firewire. I tried firewire focusrite pro 40 and the latency was horrific for me. Had to run the buffers so low that plugins were unusable for the most part. PCI is much more stable. Sent the focusrite back. Got this instead. Great stability and the patchmix is very flexible. ADAT hookup allows eight more tracks.

    No open PCIe slots.  Fire Wire would be OK.  I need something that's as low latency (or close) as my current Fast Track Ultra which, unfortunately, is proving problematic on a couple of fronts.  I never had any problems with my old Focusrite Saffire LE...but it's been discontinued and doesn't have Win7 64bit drivers...which I have to have.

    Last year I was thinking about that EMU pcie when it was available but did not see the 64bit drivers for W7. I have the Delta 44 which has low latency with the 64 bit driver and recently tried the Fast track Ultra but did not notice any difference in latency. I want to upgrade as well, maybe to the EMU 1616M pcie but it would nice to hear more user reviews on that. Later this year the Focusrite Rednet really looks interesting but may be out of my price range. I know im not helping in regard to the original post questions,,sorry.

    I'm not using windoze 7, I know there is a beta driver here for the emu:

    I've also heard the xp/vista 2.1 driver works with Win 7 - don't know.
