I'm looking for a quality USB soundcard with 2 stereo (4 mono) analog outputs and stable asio drivers for live use (ableton live + winxp). Inputs are not essential, but one line input would be nice. at least 24bit/44k ofc, and not over 250$. Oh and.. um.. black? if possible. :D
Any suggestions are appreciated. |

| On a related note, I read an article somewhere that Apple was officially outmoding Firewire. They wont be putting it on their new laptops. |

You should probably check up on those things before you scare people and spread rumours ;)
Firewire 400 isn't apparent on most new Apple laptops but they still have Firewire 800 which is backwards compatible. |

I'll prolly go with m-audio Fast track ultra. It's a bit more expensive, but seems to be a great card. ..also it's black lol :D
6in\6out is perfect for most situations.
On the other hand I could use my virus Ti desktop, but it seems a bit much to carry around. Anyone here tried using the Ti live as a sound card? |

I was speculating on whether I should have purchased the FT Ultra a couple of weeks ago, but I decided that I didn't or probably wouldn't need that many in/outs on the audio interface and so I bought a 2nd hand discontinued M-Audio Firewire 410 with 4ins/4outs instead for around 110 quid.
Good purchase so far :) |

I've seen some nice FW sound cards while searching, but I don't have FW on my laptop and getting an additional FW adapter seems to be a bit risky. It just gives an additional component in the audio chain that could fail or cause problems in a bad time.. |
