I've been involved with my own home studio for some time now. One of the first items I purchased was the Delta 1010 from M-Audio. it's about 5 or 6 years old now and during the process of rearrainging my equipment setup I must have inadvertently disconnected the cable from the computer pci card and turned the computer on. Well, as you probably know it fried! This was a stupid mistake on my part but, in my defense there should have been something more than a yellow warning sticker on the 1010 hardware box warning against doing what I did. Some type of fuse or whatever. Anyway it is what it is! Over several years I have become increasingly frustrated with Protools software problems so I recently purchased The Alesis HD24 and the Masterlink ML9600. Guess what? No problems at all. Still, I would like the ability to transfer my work analog to digital and back to analog for purposes of addind digital effects from either protools, soundforge or cd archetect. I have all 3 software programs in my PC but can no longer access them since the Delta 1010 stopped working. Hear is the point of all this. Can anyone out there:) who reads this advise me of a resonably priced ad,da converter, that would suit my needs? I don't want to complicate matters so it should be user friendly, (limited Computer knowledge here), not hard to hook up and compatible with any recording software I might choose to implement in my studio. Also it doesn't need to have mic preamps or more than stereo(2ch) in and out. Any advice is appreciated
 
I'll do you a favor and move this question out of the Analog board ;)
 
The timing of the failure may have been coincidental. I'd look for blown capacitors in the outboard unit. The 1010 has a tendency to fail due to bad electrolytic power supply caps. If that's the problem, then it's a trivial fix.

If that doesn't work and you want to salvage your PT recordings, find somebody with a full Pro Tools rig (not M-Powered) and get them to open your projects and export them as OMF/OMFI (Open Media Framework/Open Media Framework Interchange) files. You should be able to open the OMF files with any number of other apps.
