1. Interface - AD/DA IO loop - Prism Sound Orpheus here and reviewed here . It costs about 4000 Euros.
A Lavry Black DA11 here and a review here . The Lavry is dedicated to playback about 1500 Euros. 2. Connection type - Prism Orpheus is on FW. Lavry is on the XLR AES-EBU. 3. Operating System - Win 7 64. We use Sadie for the DAW. 4. PC processor and RAM - I3, 3 gig. 5. Number of instruments mixed in the session - mainly mastering so just the 2 bus. Very little vsts as we use analogue hardware for the majority of our processing. What vsts we have are from Flux, Sonoris and Algorythmix. We also use Izotope RX3 for off line audio cleanup. VSTIs - some use of Vienna samples using Halion as a sampler, Spectrasonics Atmosphere for pads but we usually use 'real' synths, drums, etc. If I'm recording/mixing though this gives us 8 channels and we can daisy chain a second Orpehsu on the FW for 16 channels. To add more channels the pc also holds 2 legacy RME 9652 HDSP cards internally here and we have a Yamaha O1V console here to take us to about 56 channels in to the RMEs on lightpipe connection for ada i/o and use the Lavry to monitor via AES. Yes we have done this and yes it does work. We've recorded and mixed live choral and large jazz ensembles this way. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

1. Presonus USB AudioBox
2. USB 1.1 3. Windows 7 Ultimate 4. AMD FX-8150 (3.6Ghz 8-core) 16Gb Ram 5. 2-5 Tracks. Setup 1: (2) Tracks - Backtracking or metronome in 1 track and a guitar in the other. Setup 2: Drums in 1, then dual rhythm and sometimes dual lead. I also only use headphones when recording, don't even own monitors. Very happy since I can get around slightly with simple recording. Just think I need to upgrade my interface some day. -------------------- Guitars:

Gabriel - are you able to recordwith low latency through software amp sim trakc monitor, while having all other "band" on vst? I haven't tried this yet with my computer. As I mainly use Pod HD for guitar sounds I haven't installed an amp simulator yet, but I will do it soon and then tell you. It shouldn't be a problem with the new computer. -------------------- My lessons

My Win 7 looks like 98 now LOL! hmmm...I guess this leaves the plug-ins or the driver of soundcard. Not much to do for the soundcard besides writing an e-mail to support. For plug-ins I wonder if its a compatibility thing thats causing this... try also ignite stuff http://www.igniteamps.com/en/audio-plug-ins and maybe something like newest free amplitube?
