I posted this on the Cubase.net forum also, so this may be a repeat for some of you…
Well, after tracking down an Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard (hard to find), which is recommended for use with UAD-1 cards, I put my new system together. Athlon 64 X2 4800+ CPU, 2 gig ram… Everything looked good until I installed my Layla24. I did all the homework on the UAD-1 compatibility, but didn’t check thoroughly enough about the Layla24. Long story short, the A8V is not compatible with Echo cards.
So… not willing to give up my UAD-1 cards, I guess I’m in the market for a new audio interface. No more Echo cards for me. I’m leaning towards an RME card, which I know are well respected. Possibly a Multiface II or Fireface 800. Anyone using them with an Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard? I’d rather not make the same mistake twice. Anything else to watch out for regarding RME cards?
I’ll listen to any other audio card suggestions too. I want 8 in and 8 out analog, digital I/O is not a need for me right now, but I don’t mind having it. The Layla24 was a good card for me, so I want to make sure I UPgrade and don’t downgrade.
Thanks for any input.
