I strongly recommend you reconsider the M-Audio Axiom, they seem to have a lot of quality control problems.

Anyway, Echo AudioFire 4 and Presonus Fireboxes are the best two. AudioFire 4's have better ADC/DAC, but they are both still very good.

Would you be able to suggest another MIDI keyboard that retails for around $300.00 that is a better choice?

Thank you for your help.

Novation Remote SL

And definately go with an Echo AudioFire interface.

You guys are awesome; I sincerely appreciate the advice. Thank you so much.

I gotta say, iv had an axiom61 for some time now and I don't have any problems.
I must be lucky.

I have an audioFire 12 too, its probably the best piece of hardware i've ever had.

Wow, seems like a good one. Definately gonna take this 12 channel one in consideration for my new soundcard. Does anyone have any clue if it lives up te RME or Motu in terms of sound quality (AD/DA etc) in the same price range (E600-E800) ?

the SNR is probably similar (Echos are around 115db or so), but the actual quality of the ADC/DAC will not be as good. I think the difference would be marginal though, to be honest.

I've decided on the Novation Remote SL 61 key ($600.00); and I plan to pick up either the 4 or 8 input/output (probably the 4) Echo Audiofire interface.

Thanks for the help!

I might as well ask a further question: aside from the fact that Reason cannot use VSTs, why do some folks recommend producing with Ableton Live 6 over Reason?

And it's workflow. It's a platform in which you can produce tracks in a minimal ammount of time.

Thank you very much, this will probably become my new card hehe, I'd love a good card with some analog ins & outs! The more the merrier, and in the earlier given price range... 600-800 Euro
