I am just on the verge of buying an Aurora 16 with the firewire card for my studio which runs on an 8 core MacPro with Logic 8. The reason is that I am getting a Neve 8816 summing mixer (with digital card) & want to send 16 analogue outs from Logic 8 as well as needing an additional 3 stereo AES/EBU
outs to drive my Dynaudio Air 6 surround system. My question is when running the Aurora in the 32 channel mode (needed for running 16 analogue & 16 digital simultaneously) has anyone had experiance with how stable this setup is likely to be? I can afford to spare a pci-e slot for a dedicated firewire card like the SIIG 2 port firewire card. I mostly work at 24bit/44.1 but sometimes need to run at 96. On paper it all seems possible but I am a little nervous after a mixed history of using firewire interfaces from various companies. Cheers
