    Hey thanks Ted - will be needing those drivers soon.
    Currently getting Windows 7 and the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra.

    How have you found the Fast Track Pro so far?
    I see you've also got Ezdrummer. So do I.
    Do we have to also get new drivers or a software upgrade from Toontrack to run Ezydrummer on Windows 7

    I have not tried to load it up with Windows 7 yet. I have 32bit Vista working just fine and I don't want to spend too much time just yet messing with 7, but I do have the final release loaded on a partition, dual boot.

    Not to change the subject, but I have found that Addictive drums are better than EZDrummer.  I have not tried Superior, but I think Addictive may even be better.  Addictive now has built in support for E Drum kits.... Presets... Very nice indeed.

    I downloaded the delta beta driver for windows 7 two weeks ago and it works really fine. i am running windows 7 x64 and use a DELTA 1010LT.
    No crashes no sound issus or anything. But a friend of mine use also Windows 7 x64 and he use The DELTA 2496 and he has no chance to get his system work. The Delta card makes no sound.

    Out of curiosity - are these M-Audio Win 7  Beta  drivers  WaveRT  based or are they ASIO based  or both  ?

    I don`t know wat WaveRT is but I use the beta driver only with ASIO.
    I had take a look at MSDN. I don´t really understand what this WaveRT is really doing.
    But i can use my beta driver for all my application and i can switch any appication under Windows.
    It is possible to work on sonar and hear music over the mediaplayer and watch TV in the media center and all application play the sounds in 96kHz by 24 bit.

    That´s  great

    Unless it's changed since the Win7 release, WaveRT is a driver model that lets you achieve very low latency with lower CPU overhead. That's the upside. The downside is that it only really works for PCI/PCIe bus cards. (Ironically, that includes onboard audio! Good one there, Microsoft! )
