hmm, so should i bite the bullet and keep the myteks?. The support i have been getting is, to be polite, substandard, given that i spent all this money, hoping to get the firewire card soon, as i was told, and instead having to deal with this consumer m-audio crap. today it just stopped working, it's so jittery it's unbearable. I did go the AES route, and am using a Henry engineering AES to SPDIF converter, then to freaking PT LE! can you believe it?. i do love my myteks, but this is just ludicrous.

any ideas?. i'd love to have a definitive solution, i thought that Mytek would be the solution, any thoughts about switching to aurora 8? thanks so much.

The real solution to me is to get a DAW that can have AES i/o go directly to the soundcard. Firewire is nice for mobile or project recording and for reading extrernal hard drives but to me is severely limited solution for a mastering studio, Get a computer that has PCI slots and get a card that has AES i/o. Problem solved!
