I've been using Cool Edit Pro for a long time now and just upgraded to Adobe Audition 3.0, and wow!!! What an improvement!!!
But...
My I/O is a little dated. I'm using a MOTU 2408 with the older PCI-324 card. I have no complaints about the way it works or the way it sounds, but it is no longer supported on newer operating systems.
I'm really digging Windows 7 on a new laptop we just acquired, and would really like to upgrade my DAW to a more powerful machine with 7 on it. In order to do so, I'll need to purchase an new PCI card in order to use the 2048. It's only a few hundred bucks, but that's set the wheels to turning.
Since Pro Tools is the de facto industry standard, would there be enough benefits derived from replacing the MOTU? The M-Audio Delta 1010 seems to be very similar to the 2408 as far as simultaneous I/O and other features go. And the Delta 1010 LT is even less expensive than the rackmount version, and would seem to work fine with my mixer's outputs (Alesis Studio 32). Of course the cost of Pro Tools would have to be factored in also. Or is there a better (affordable) multi-channel Pro Tools compatible interface out there worthy of consideration?
Just wondering if anyone had any advice or experiences they'd be willing to share on the subject? Any and all input would be highly appreciated.
