Which one are you using? USB is a VERY slow computer interface. Anything above 4 tracks streaming through it will certainly make it choke. If you want cheap, you shouldn't be looking at USB. Any USB or Firewire device costs more than a PCI counterpart and delivers inferior performance. USB - 12Mbits/sec (1.25Mbytes/sec) Firewire - 400 Mbit/sec (50MBytes/sec) PCI - upwards of 100Mbytes/sec
