I'm still not getting the Gadget S/PDIF card to work right. Their tech support has been relatively unhelpful (very unusual) and really dragging their feet. I'm getting way more help with this from Syntrillium tech support!
Aside from whether Gadgetlabs is going through a change right now, this problem highlights the downside of computer recording very neatly, I think. I've invested hundreds of dollars in an expensive soundcard, software and a really nice reverb unit, and I can't get them to work with each other, despite having spent a *lot* of time with it. If it turns out to be an incompatibility issue, it means that I'm going to have to abandon either the soundcard or the reverb unit to get reverb on my tracks, and either way means I lose a lot of money. Gadgetlabs *assured* me that the S/PDIF card was exactly what I needed to use the Lexicon reverb. Yeah, right. And if it is an incompatibility issue, and if I somehow get my money back from Gadgetlabs for selling me a card that doesn't do what they said it would, I'm still without the use of the Lexicon, I've still wasted loads of time trying to get it to work, and not to mention the aggravation.
Okay, let's not be so pessimistic. Let's say that eventually I get everything up and working just right. That's nice, but what a lot of time and what a pain in the ass in the meantime to achieve it!
On other parts of this board, I've been asking questions about
the Akai dps16. Give you three guesses why.
