I would imagine (or hope) that the prevailing attitude here is one of support for the software companies, seeing as without them we wouldn't have many of the tools we use for our living or our hobby. Free software sounds like a great idea, but in the long term I don't see who it's meant to...

Um, I don't want to sound testy, but why is there even any doubt? "He says the programs were modified by 3rd parties to allow full functionality including 'save'. He also said these couldn't be registered with the retail company and that all updates would be available through him"... And you...

Sorry, Adrian, we kinda hijacked your topic here. So back to your point... Again, I wasn't looking specifically for the Mac, but I was looking at any soundcard of a similar nature that I could find. At the "bottom end" of the "pro" or "prosumer" market of audio cards, I didn't find anything...

OK, you'll be getting sick of me now, but I had to make one final comment that I'd forgotten about up until this point... The effect of the GST. As near as I can figure it from my readings on the web sites of the ATO and Customs, and from what they've told me in person, here's the gist: 1. The...

Oh, I forgot to comment on the Gadget Labs situation. The problem here is that, as far as I can see, you can't buy this card from the US. In the US, you can only buy direct from Gadget Labs, and they don't sell outside the US. Outside the US, you have to go through their local distributor. In...

Hah! $A799 is what I was quoted for it in Australia also. No way I was gonna pay that when I saw what it cost in the US! Here's the breakdown of what I bought. I'm just showing these prices to demonstrate to other Aussies how ripped off we are in this country when it comes to computer hardware...

Don't know anything about using the Delta44 on Macs... I have one on my PC... But I'd consider shopping around some on-line stores in the US. I got mine shipped from the US for WAY less than I could buy it here. I paid $US259 for mine, which translates to about $380 Canadian at current exchange...

If you're interested in saving a bit of money... A guy on the cakewalk.audio newsgroup just advertised a Wave/824 for $375. His name's Kenny ("Oh no, they..."), and his e-mail address is watch777@earthlink.net. --Dingo

No thoughts, but a question... How much did it cost? --Dingo (The koala did it)

Yeah, you're right, the list price of the Delta1010 is a lot more than the Wave/824. For me, I was choosing between the Delta44 and the soon-to-be-released Wave/496. The list price of the Wave/496, in the US, was actually less than the Delta44, but I had to go through the Australian Gadget Labs...

The Guillemot card referred to would be the Maxi Studio ISIS. A quick question - you've decided (it appears) to go with the Gadget Labs 8/24. Have you also looked at the M-Audio Delta1010? If so, what were the salient points that made you choose the Gadget Labs card over the M-Audio card? --Dingo

After some discussions here and elsewhere I ended up purchasing for myself a Midiman/M-Audio Delta44 sound card. It works just great, of course. However, I knew before I got it (from what I'd read) that I'd find the patch-box cable too short, and indeed that has proved to be the case. I...

I've not seen anyone mention the Midiman (or M-Audio) Delta 1010. Seems to be an obvious contender in this group of cards. Tim

I touched on this in another topic, but I thought I'd ask the question outright. Feature-wise, the ISIS card gives me everything I need for about the right price. But, according to http://www.bway.net/~rongon/home_rec/soundcard.html, it uses the ESS Maestro 2 chip (is that correct? I couldn't...

Forgive an audio newphyte for asking a question that is probably covered in a FAQ somewhere - what precisely is the difference between balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs, and what am I missing out on if I get a card with unbalanced ins and outs? OK, now for a sound card question (OK, it...

Is there any relationship between the patch number you select in Cakewalk and the resulting patch number on your keyboard (give us some examples of what patch number you select in Cakewalk and what patch you see on the keyboard). Tim

I've imported a lot of stuff (for my own use) from the US to Australia. Mainly software, but hardware as well. Here's the scoop - it is very worthwhile importing software from the US. Even with shipping charges (which you can reduce to less than $US10 is you ship via US Post, and it still only...
