    Tracktion has this capability built in. FWIW.

    Ditch the analog mixing board interface. Tracktion is where it's at.

    Music software with shortest learning curve?

    I second (and third and fourth) the vote for Tracktion. I've used Vegas and Fruity and I've tried demos of Cool Edit, N-tracks, Logic and others. Tracktion is just amazing; the workflow and UI are totally intuitive. It dispenses with the out-dated mixing-board UI analogy and it's just a joy to...

    SPDIF sync seems to slip

    OK, it turns out it was a buggy version of Vegas (2.0h). (I know, I know, I should have upgraded years ago, but it's a lot of cake and I don't really need the video stuff.) The slip still happened with the wave forms off, it just took longer to show up. A friend confirms that he had exactly the...

    SP B1, phantom power, and pads

    Has anyone used an inline pad with a Studio Projects B1? Does the pad mess with the phantom power supply?

    recording out of sync

    spdif slip? Yes. I'm having the same sort of problem. Tracks recorded with my M-Audio 2496's analog input don't sync with tracks recorded with the SPDIF input even though they are recorded at the same time. The M-Audio control panel is set to sync to external SPDIF and the sample rates match...

    SPDIF sync seems to slip

    That sounds like it could be it. I won't have a chance to check until I get back over to our drummer's house later this week. Thanks, Jim. Stay tuned...

    SPDIF sync seems to slip

    update I contacted both ART and M-Audio tech support. ART says it's not a clock issue, because there would be all kinds of digital noise and distortion. They blame latency and "drift" (no kidding!) and tell me to play with my buffer settings. M-Audio copped out and said to upgrade to Window...
