Hi LynB,

Thanks for that.

I am keen to retain the Audigy if possible because as well as being an audio interface it also has in-built sounds which I sometimes use when playing midifiles. I will therefore follow up on the Windows 7 driver which I presume you became aware of from the Creative website.

If in my PC rebuild the Audigy can be retained there would still be scope for the later addition of a new audio interface [Focusrite Scarlett 2i4?] over USB should it be deemed necessary. I would still therefore appreciate any user feedback on Scarlett/RealBand/PTracks compatibility and performance.

Thank you again.

Regards,
Peter J
