Thanks. Will consider it.

Are the VU meters supposed to move ?  I mean, I use an AT2050, phantom
power switched on, everything else normal, and with an acoustic guitar,
although the sound is OK I find, the VU meters do not move. Much less
the 'tube' meters.  I can make them move if I sing gvery close to the
mic.  Also, with the 1010LT card I set the output (at the back) at
-10dBV.  I assume the jumpers ont he 10101LT are at the default
position.

Thanks, will read about it.

Cheers.
