Hey Timothy - I bought your first set of tutorials on making a Producing Live Drums for House Music. I really enjoyed it and watched it several times. The one thing I wished was different (and I almost emailed you about this) was that I thought it ended a little too abruptly without some sort of ...

Hi - based on your sig, I'm assuming you're running Win7 64 bit. Any issues with the drivers so far on that platform? I've been holding off buying one of these until I heard more about the driver stability.

Thanks,

It seems like Live ...

I've been shopping the same. Most existing cards had a hard time with Vista 64 bit drivers and/or have many complaints for their Windows 7 drivers. I've found good Windows 7 64 bit feedback on:

I've also been watching the new Focusrite Saffire 6 which ...
