does anyone have experience using these devices? I have windows 7 pro 32bit and I'm wondering how stable each is. they all have to have similar features, and I'm wondering which I should go with. here's what I like/dislike about each
Fast Track Pro
Pro: 2 mic inputs, 4 outputs, simple and easy to use, already own, willing to sell
Con: M-Audio is the WORST at releasing drivers. only recently released win7 drivers for my radium. would like to avoid if possible; only 2 1/4" inputs, only RCA out (or balanced 1/4"/digital, would like 1/4" unbalanced)
NI Kontrol 1:
Pro: seems designed for DJs, which I also do, not easy with FT Pro; built-in assignable knobs/buttons, comes with great software; 4 1/4" outputs
Con: only 2 inputs (ONE mic input); most expensive option
Lexicon Omega
PRO: FOUR 1/4" inputs PLUS 2 mics and extra line input on front; cheapest option
Con: know nothing about it (just found it @ guitar center on clearance yesterday); only TWO outputs??? means I can't DJ with it...
if I were to answer on impulse I'd guess my best option is to keep my fast track, and expand with the Kontrol, because I REALLY want to use it for DJing too. however, I don't know how well using two sound cards simultaneously will work (I'm guessing not very well)
anyone with any input on these devices or simliar ones, please let me know, and thanks!
