hi, i was reading this when i was at my parents place, eating my tummy full, so i can go on for a while.
it was funny about the 1,5 m ears :-)
they`re big, but not that big :-)
i couldn`t immediately check if i had source direct on it, but i thought it was on it, so i just turned up the lights and noticed there`s a direct source button, never knew what it was for, i still don`t exactly, but it`s better ?
it doesn`t color the sound or something when it`s on ?

(i notice while playing a synth it gives a more natural (les distorted) sound)
really like it.


i have some sample cd`s (from vengeance and others) even stylus rmx.
maybe experiment making my own kick, i almost never tried.
listening to a sample cd, harstyle tools (vol. 1) right now (with source direct on hahaha, and i hear a lot of usefull kicks.

i`m still a kind of wanting an emu 1820m, also because of the inputs.
and ok if the preamps are not as good as those in the 1616m, those preamps aren`t in the line inputs wright ? (i don`t know)
i think it will be good to have a card with at least six line inputs, because i want to use the nordlead 3 at the max(with sometimes 4 outs).
and have two spare inputs on the card for maybe further equipment.
i also want an access virus ti, but that`s for later.

my current is just onboard sound.

the weird part of the emu 1820m 1616m story is that they are being sold at this moment for the same price at a store (400 euro), on another the 1820m is 100 euro more.
and i even heard about the 1820m was being sold for 300 euro at thomann (it`s a german site)
but they are sold out now over there.

those eu standards has to do with some material used within the cards i read. (not official, i don`t know how trustworthy that is.)
led (how do you spell it, that heavy material)
