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...
Ciao,
I've got an M-Audio 2496 card which has no pots at all. Unfortunately it
would be a bit difficult trying to stuff it into a laptop :)
Hmmm. I've long since lost the user guide. I wonder how accurate these
actually are.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
