Try recording through a channel WITH plugins, printing that track. I think that might be an advantage of the Symphony...kinda like PTHD, not relegating plugins to mixdown, but being able to actually use them like hardware.

I went with the Symphony because I wanted the SBUS feature. I'm setting up my new MacPro now, and will hook up my old Quad G5 direct from symphony card to symphony card. And I'm actually excited!
Cool. So I can access 2 channels of lightpipe out like I'm doing now for purposes of monitoring back into a 2408 but not lose any inputs, correct? Are you working in Logic by chance and at 32 buffer? Also, what kind of quality difference did you notice by bumping up the the ad16x? It seems kind of like a no brainer to me assuming it's better, plus I'll get the better clock, which I can use as a master clock for my system.
