kudzu, can you tell me any more about the rme? i've heard that their converters are not in the same league as apogee...

thanks again for the responses!

You deal with the latency issues the same way. Muting the track you are recording on, setting the hw buffer higher, and tweaking the mix nob on the mbox. You can still use the mbox for monitoring. You would only have the headphone jack on the mini me for monitoring if you were using it as your interface for cubase etc. Like I said it can also be used as a much more stable clock source than the mbox. It has sample rates up to 96k and has a 3 setting comp/limiter. The pre's are decent and way better than the mbox pre's. For the money it just can't be beat. I got mine used off ebay for 850 bucks with the usb option even though I don't use it for an interface.
