Sorry for the delay in getting back to this forum.

Rockstar_not and TerryB ... thanks for your input. The Audio Interface I was going to buy was the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. It was a toss up between this and the Saffire Pro 24, its little Brother. It is a FireWire 400 interface with MIDI. I need MIDI..

I have been researching Audio Interfaces for a long time, and more recently, was even considering a PCIe card from RME,and then getting an outboard preamp to go with it, but this would cost me over $1K, which is WAY beyond what I can spend right now. In a years' time, maybe, but not just now.

I try to read as many "Users Forums" as much as I can, and when I find the product I'm interested in, I then usually go to Amazon and read the user reviews of said product. I also read the professional review sites as well as all of the other "Home Recording"-type forums, but I am ALWAYS wary of manufacturers marketing hype.

So, it looks like I'm back to doing more research and talking to "knowledgeable" pros in the music stores.

TerryB, I have No buyer remorse WHATSOEVER! I haven't installed it yet, 'cause I need to get another internal Hard Drive, but I watched the Video tutorials last night, and from what I saw, I can honestly say that BIAB seems absolutely AMAZING!, and is WAY beyond what I imagined it to be. It has to be THE best purchase I have ever made in my entire life! I can't stop smiling!
