No audio cards yet, just 'out of the box' machine. Have various midi instruments. Have TASCAM TD-M1000 that can respond to remote midi commands. Ultimate goal would be to have DP4 or Logic 6 (I currently have Reason 2.5) working with the Tascam mixer, so that midi, live sound and samples can all be mixed together with OS X based DAW. Any idea on what would be a good PCi audio card for this ? DP4 or Logic or what ?? Thanks for any ideas, Bill
