Similar here. But since I have tried Ardour I'd like to 
replace my external mixer with a mutliport soundcard and 
ardour. The ability to include LADSPAs in a mixer strip in 
ardour is *much* better than my digitech multi effects 
processor.

The only problem is that I have USB 1.1 and firewire isn't 
supported well, but withour these limitations I'd like to see 
a USB 2 or firewire card with 10 Stereo ins and 1 stereo 
out :) .

Thanks Paul for Ardour!


Best regards
