Thanks Alex...

It sounds as tho you had acombination of defective hardware and driver problem... I'm guessing that the driver works fine for win7... Here's hoping it works with Vista64 as well tho I'm planning to migrate it to the Mac under win7 pro within another week...

Hi Gang...

OK... It arrived today and I installed it both on the Mac (OSX 10.7) and the HP (Vista64).... Some good things and some bad... One major issue that I'm shocked no one else thought to mention...

I'll speak of this difficulty first... Maybe some of you found work around but I'm shocked at the lack of input monitor control.  No way to use this in a multi-tracked project in headphones... Only an overall input vs. pc mix... and the headphone output is so low I'll have to run it to another headphone amp...

First pre amp test wasn't too bad... I'll do more critical once I deal with this monitoring issue,,,

No line in on inputs 1-8 so I'm forced to use their mic pre's if I need those inputs...

But it works in Vista64 and it's reasonably quiet... So I can start usinf the HP's power and 64bit at last...

I will have to find a better solution for the Mac's system as I will leave it on the HP for live recordings only (given the right situation)

I already knew it doesn't have inserts for it's mic pre channels, so it's bow obvious why it's so cheap and bot particularly popular...

How do you 1800 users deal with these issues?

Oh, and another thing... It's WDM here. If I switch to asio I get only a single i/o! Weird, huh? But because of this I'm running less latency... right now it's purring along at 5.8ms on a project I've been running at 30ms on my core2 machine... ;_)

More as I can...

Thanks again...
