Well we now have .HSC sets for the Focusrite Pro range so, you will be able to use it's control panel with those.

I tried to put my M-Audio 24-96 in upside down, the only way it seemed to fit, and it isn't recognized. Fine! Time to get something better that still suits my needs. Everybody here talks about Focusrite and there are plenty of cards at different prices. I just want a basic one with a couple of in's for mics and lines, at least 2 RCA or TRS outs for the stereo, midi for the keyboards and good drivers for Sonar. I don't really want to pay for 8 or 16 channels when I don't need them at this time. I just want Sonar up and running again and my lossless music collection sounds bad on the little computer speakers. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance and I would like to try to pick it up tomorrow. Bob.
