You go faster than me to take decision for a new sound card ! <br>Hope you will be happy with your new one.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 3:41 PM, Tony Scharf <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:noisetheorem@gmail.com">noisetheorem@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I looked into the PCI setup, but the 828 has the advantage of having<br>
both USB and Firewire on it, so I can use it mobile with my laptop if<br>
I need. Also, the 828 acts as a digital mixer so you can use it<br>
completely without a computer in some situations (though I honestly<br>
don't think i will be doing live gigs again). The flexibility to take<br>
the unit in a rack up to a friends place to record some jams is very<br>
enticing.<br>
<br>
The 828 does the DSP on the unit just as the PCI version does it on<br>
the card. I don't see how this would increase the CPU load. I also<br>
don't anticipate using these FX much, but again..it's nice to know<br>
they are there.<br>
<br>
I also don't actually need that many inputs as the amount of gear I<br>
have has been steadily shrinking. Aside from the modular, I only have<br>
the 2 stereo and 2 mono sources that I regularly record. My yamaha<br>
drum pad kit never uses its internal sounds, since battery is just<br>
better. In fact, I doubt I will have much outside the box save my<br>
modular and drum machine by the end of the year.<br>
<br>
In any case, I ordered the 828 yesterday, and it should arrive today.<br>
