your experience w/m-audio cards?

I'm liking my 1010lt enough to think about adding another one to my box, but I won't lie and say they are never problematic. I've had my share of wondering "WTF?!?!?!?" when my clean recordings suddenly played back with a weird click or glitch or skip (which my records NEVER do, nor does my harmonica, or my spoons, or my jug, or my drum machines, or my synths, or my...).

I think the price issue was a big one for me, but if I had more loot, I'd most definately lean in a different direction.

That being said, 99% of what i've done with my LT was cool enough. The card can be a bit noisier than I'd like, but maybe that's just the wind gently swirling where my gray matter should be.

I had a chance to stick another m-audio in my mac, but I chose not to, and I haven't thought twice about my choice to use something else in that particular case.

Howyadoin,

I've had my Delta 1010 for close to two years and other than a manufacturing defect that was fixed under warranty (inputs 7 and 8 were inop) I've been very happy. Make sure your computer hardware can handle the CPU and hard disk intensive tracking. I had a bitch of a time with my first rig (Athlon 1800, MSI nForce chipset, Win2K, Sound Forge). Pops, cracks, all kindsa junk. Went to an Intel platform (2.4GHz/533 MHz FSB, Intel 845 chipset, WinXP Pro, Cubase SX) and it's solid as a rock and sounds beautiful.

I love M-Audio products... I've owned a Delta 1010, the 1010LT, and Audiophile 2496 (wonderful card), and 2 MidiSports... I've never had a problem with any of them and have ran them under Win98SE, 2000, and XP.

Good luck
Jay
