very nice! Will there be pliers and hotglue or similar crazy-glue
available so that one can permanently fix the dials of the soundcard in
question? I'm planning to bring a UA-25.
For a UA25 you'd need a soldering iron to remove the pots
and replace them by fixed resistors :-)
The older UA5 (which I will bring) has an advantage in having
line inputs (on the back) that bypass the mic preamp. They have
a gain control, but it's just a passive pot which you can safely
turn to maximum. All this was removed on later models to make
place for MIDI connectors...
