I got this all going, but it was recording clean. I was in-fear
that I was going to have noise problems (since I read the horror stories)...
but many folks claim to stop and disable the onboard firewire and usb completely
and go with a PCMCIA Texas Instruments type.
Anyway, I got side-tracked on other things and haven't fully tested everything.
But just mic'in an acoustic with an older Rode NT and using an Alesis io14
firewire... clean and sonic! I am having big time learning curve with the
Sonar 7. I am rather disappointed with it... and I am always happy a bug
to fire up my Paris on my desktop....

What mobo are you using? I don't get distortion, but I'm just wondering if
the things I DO experience could be traced to the G450.
