I case somebody is interested, there's a 2408, a 308 and two 1224 to go (plus one PCIx424 interface - the catch is in the name: It needs a PCIx slot, which is hard to find in a new system these days). I haven't used the Midas much in the new studio setup yet, but I definitely prefer a hands-on interface to mixing over any computer interface.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>I recently got a Thunderbird 3 interface for my PC. Either I get a MOTU 16A, or an 24Ai. The latter only connects via USB (or Ethernet, but that's not really going to work).
