Not sure what your budget is, but the lowest priced preamps I know of are the M-Audio Audio Buddy for about $80, the Studio Projects VTB-1 for about $180 (although the price was supposed to drop to about $130), the ART TPS for $180, the PreSonus Blue Tube for $160.

The MX802A works well with the Studio Projects B1.

entangle, Yes, I agree that the policies of the software companies seem unreasonable. I did recently purchase an unregistered PA9 from someone that got it bundled with an Aardvark card. I was able to register it with Cakewalk. For me, it is a great program, and does everything I need it to.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the link. Maybe I'll upgrade to Sonar first, then when I can afford to do the XP upgrade, I'll do that, too.

I'm downloading the Sonar demo now. Oddly, Cakewalk's website doesn't list the system requirements for Sonar. Now I have to convince my wife that this is something I need.

Do you know if Sonar will run under Win98SE with ASIO drivers?

I was afraid of that. I guess I'll have to raise more money. Times are tough. Thanks for the advice.

Do you know if the drivers under XP are better than those under Win98SE?

Do you know if PA9 will run under XP?

I'm tired of giving money to Microsoft. A lot of my programs are older, and I'm not sure how many I would have to upgrade to use XP or 2000. Do you know if Pro Audio 9 will run under XP, and would it use better drivers?

Yes, I've done both, and the Delta is on it's own IRQ. M-Audio is saying now that there is a problem with the Windows driver, but they apparently are not planning to do anything about it. The last driver they released for Win98 was about a year ago.

I could use some help from all of you Cakewalk geniuses. I've spent the past few days searching the web for solutions to this problem, but none of the suggestions work. When using a Delta soundcard, I get a static/crackle on random takes. I can never tell when it will happen, and it is very...

It's much easier to find a good inexpensive mic than it is to find a good inexpensive preamp. The mics that are being recommended are good choices.

Check this thread. In it, Alan Hyatt of Studio Projects said it might go down to $129. I'm waiting, too. https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=77909&highlight=vtb1+price+drop
