Well, I still use Digital Performer (and occasionally PT LE). And, i'm not sold on the symphony setup with DP so I still want to be able to route stuff into a 2408 for now. I realize I could use symphony in DP if I was not monitoring through DP and used Maestro. At this point I'm still trying to figure things out. By piping the 800 into a 2408 I was up and running immediately in both Logic and DP. Then I got the Symphony cards to "experiment" with. Ideally it would be nice to ditch the D8B all together and use the Euphonix controller. Seems to be the way to go. but, it will cost me more money just to get rid of things and rewire my patch bay, sooooo, not going to happen right now. But, thanks for the idea as I did think of it too. I'll have to try a buffer of 32. I'm just afraid that any normal session do will freeze up as I use VIs that seem to start to choke at a buffer of 64, unless there's some magic efficiency thing that kicks in at 32 (??).
