[pseudonym]

Well, to be honest I don't really know what I am looking for.

I can't find a solid explanation of the benefits of Firewire over a PCI board, or vice versa, and the Motu828 looks amazing, but has features I can't imagine ever needing, or wanting to bother with.

I have a pretty modest set up, Mac, 24 channel behringer eurodesk, couple of outboard processors... I want to be able to send tracks from logic out to my JP's Vocoder, the Virus TI's filters and vocoder (when it arrives) and my shiddy Korg Electribes (because they have some nice audio-in effects)..

So, I just want something which doesn't cause pops and clicks (like my EMI 2|6 does currently) and something which can be used to route a bunch of things to a bunch of other things. Simple and straightforward.

Thanks for your reply, it sounds like a good piece of kit...
