I sold the fireface because RME has a VERY wierd (and quite serious) problem with thier drivers.
I had been doing extensive testing with the guys on the Nuendo forum and discovered this bug during certain situations (I had actually noticed it before but put it down to the complexity of todays daws.) People with other cards doing the same tests didnt get this bug so I decided to obtain a Lynx card (only real other contender for high end pc soundcard) to see what would happen. Perfect, bug was completely gone with the Lynx card.
To cut a long story short, RME refuse bluntly to admit to this bug or talk about it and tbh they have been the laughing stock on the Nuendo forum because of it. Many people have sold up RME kit to goto Lynx or someone else, its truly pathetic and embarresing of RME.
Anyway, the Lynx card is pci and I have only 3 pci slots (and 4 pcie slots) which were all taken up with powercore cards. I never really used the third so that is why it was for sale.
I do plan however on getting a Lynx pcie card when the time comes and maybe another poco mk2 unplugged just incase
or even maybe whatever UA are going to announce at the AES show in Paris end of this month.
I did sell my virus TI 61 and bought a polar which should be here end of week. I also have on order an Andro A6 which due to Alesis moving manufacturing plants (and it nearing the end of its lifespan) means im going to have to wait till the end of May, early June for that.
And yes I also will be getting a DSI poly evolver in June and the Roland sh-201 when its out.
Thats about it
