Thank you Matt,John and David,

Guess I'll be doing more in Realband and trying out Reaper.

David, glad to hear from someone who demoed the new T4. I did a google search and none of the T3 Mackie plugs come with or work properly with the new version - which was the only reason I got it in the first place.

I found out on the kvr forum that it was "orphaned" by Mackie after I bought it but it was still shipping with their products. I never had any issues with it on XP so I didn't hang there often. I never dreamed the users would be orphaned....

At least I didn't pay top dollar for it like some folks did - thank God. I'm not the biggest fan of the one page does all GUI it has either. The thought of learning another DAW makes me groan but I'm ready to try something else.
