going to tryout another sound card in my efforts to find one that jives with my software. this will be the third one, thankfully i am dealing with a music store that will give me 15 days to return it no guestions asked. tried the lexicon omega and the m-audio. now im pretty sure the e-mu 1820 is the the ticket.http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?product=2210&category=754&maincategory=754 maybe a prayer wouldn't hurt. LOL!
