All i have to go on is the specifications listed on the site. And more the price I've seen many other external cards that have more impressive stats than that.
I wouldn't know about the drivers, but that said, any drivers can be ported to another card with a little coding.

are you kidding? :removeseyeswithafork: we're talking about cards with dedicated DSP hardware - you're not going to port drivers for a motorola-based card to a crystal-based card, for example. Having gone through four years of ASIO-driver hell as a beta tester for Terratec (EWS64XL) I'm pretty sure its not just 'a bit of coding' to get driver x to work with hardware-based audio card B. (or, as we tried to do at one point, a CardD+. bad pun, i know.)

Are you saying you know a product four times as good as an m-audio firewire for half the price (its not a soundcard its an external IO box)? or four times as good as the echo indigo for half the price, while still being PCMCIA-based with two discrete stereo pairs?

and which specs are you referring to that are less than 'way more than you'd need' - especially considering that the entire dance music industry is based around a platform with ~45db dynamic range on a good day with less than ~20db channel separation and a frequency response curve that wanders its way from 20hz to ~18khz with all the linearity of the great ocean road....

very interested to hear your recommendations.

sorry for thread jihad. ableton good.

Oh I know it's not hard. But running all my .mp3's thru a converter is a bitch in itself, and that most online purchased music comes in .mp3 format. Plus, it'll take up shitloads more HD space. I guess I could do the conversion in real-time, but then I could run the risk of overwhleming my processor and getting choppy sound, or not being able to save my settings for beatmatching and such.

Meh, I'm new to DJing and I plan on sticking with it for a good while, I have time to wait for it to become .mp3 compatible.

I'm reading about it on the website now and I'm loving some of the possibilites now tho, a pretty unique and valuable tool.

I was under the impression ASIO was not so much of a device driver, but up one layer from that, in which case I have known many similar decoders that have been ported between different hardware platforms.

I'm not expert on ASIO2 specifically, not have I ever attempted an adapter myself, beyond my level of programming ability, this is just what I know from talking to people that have done it themselves.

But it is a vaild point to say that this is really irrelevant for the purposes of playing live, as the audio conditions in a club environment will negate the best of audio adapters.

And on the subject of hardware connectivity, there are many USB solutions springing onto the market atm, so much so that I've lost track. But alot of these have physical controls for volume and balance at the least (I imagine these can be re-assigned, as I think they are more of an interface than functioning purely in the hardware domain).
