I/O is the way to go (No USB or FW). The RME stuff sounds great
and works well. The Multiface also has and adat I/O port for
additional capability.

it cheap! Doesn't really exist. However, personally I'd recommend Live, SX,
or Sonar depending on what you want to do. Live is the most intuitive, musical
app I've ever used but doesn't work as well as a traditional multitracker
with lots of punch ins and punch outs and such. SX is more of a multitracker
without with a really super sequencer (that apparently has been improved
in v. 4), and has sample accurate editing in the project window, lots of
cool stuff or managing audio flow in the mixer, and so forth. Sonar is, in
my opinion, a little in the middle. More of the looping, pattern stuff that
Live/Reason have, but a better multitracker than either of them, but not
the same kind of audio powerhouse SX is.

Gentlest learning curve is Live, steepest is SX, IHMO. Both take enormous
amounts of time to truly master. I'm probably a top 15% SX use

on "the cheap" I would get two Multiface/PCI combos and have the adat
I/O's available for later expansion if needed.

I know the bus is a big deal in Paris so when you get a setup like a rme
hdsp9652 with behringer ada8000s for example, where is the mix bus ?

Thanks,

>Hey guys,
just got my new 8 out card from Morgan and was wondering, exactly how do
I hook this bad boy up? I put it on the far left slot on the back of the
MEC so to differentiate from the 8 in modules.

How do I hook this up from the patch bay and send back to various outboard
gear? Will I be able to send track 16 out to an effect and then back to 16,
or do I have to go to a different channel? Also, what is the 8 out card called
in the patchbay?

thanks for any help,

michael blissAAron...here's where I got mine:
