Similar here. But since I have tried Ardour I'd like to replace my external mixer with a mutliport soundcard and ardour. The ability to include LADSPAs in a mixer strip in ardour is *much* better than my digitech multi effects processor. The only problem is that I have USB 1.1 and firewire isn't supported well, but withour these limitations I'd like to see a USB 2 or firewire card with 10 Stereo ins and 1 stereo out :) . Thanks Paul for Ardour! Best regards ce
