YES! Finally!! Flavio ROCKS!!

OK, 2 years ago I realized my laptop would make a great studio- and just in time because my 4-track died shortly afterwards. N-track was the program of choice: cheap, full-featured, and worked well. I didn't like that it crashed every 30 minutes, but I saved often and drank more coffee while it rebooted.

After 6 months or so I was getting good with it and making some decent quality stuff. Then I discovered stereo micing.

WHOA!! Jump back! The acoustic guitar sounds REAL!! Only one problem- the laptop has no stereo input.

Bummer! I picked up a Tascam US-428 (which bumped me up to 4 inputs! With a control surface, too!) but, to my everlasting dismay, it did not work or play well with n-track. And neither would any other USB devices- the only option I had for that laptop.

So I "upgraded" to Cubase (which I am very happy with) but still help friends record in n-track. Some things are just so EASY in n-track (drawing volume and pan changes, for example) that I sometimes pine for it.

Well, I checked the website yesterday and...lo!...the latest version update supports the US-428! Joy! One download and install later I verified it- the control surface works, the ins and outs work.

Now I have my choice of which program to use. Too cool. Flavio continues to amaze me with this program.

Sorry, just had to share my elation.

That's good to know...

I'm planning on getting a US-224 soon, strictly as a mixing board, so the knowledge that the control surfaces work sounds way cool.

It won't record to MIDI with my resident soundcard (it crashes if I try to do so, or if I don't use the card's ASIO drivers, which actually may not be a bad thing), but I got Nyotx's VirtualAudioCable and output everything to Cool Edit 2000.

As a strictly audio software tho', can't be beat!

Yep, Flavio's the man

I plugged in my brand Spankin' new US-224 last night, N-Track recognized it and now all is well with ASIO drivers.

Way ta go, FLAVIO!!!
