LaMont, no I'm not having trouble with one, since I don't own
one; but my reason for asking is that I'm considering a
reconfiguration of my setup - one of the options being setting
up a separate PC for Virtual Instruments - and if I do this,
I'm wondering if I should get an 1812M for the audio PC and use
my current interface (which is an RME Multiface) for the VST
machine, or just go with Multifaces for both machines.
The EMU website lists 44.1, 48, 96, and 192k, but it doesn't
say anything about 88.2, so that's why I am wondering
specifically about that samplerate (which is my preferred
samplerate to use).

Neil.........I don't have any first hand experience with this and my source
is a post made by Matthias Carstens (IIRC) , so consider the source, but a
couple of years ago I saw a post on the RME forum stating that the ADAT
protocall of the EMU interfaces wasn't *standard* and that there could
possibly be clocking issues when interfacing an EMU card with an RME card.
Whether this would be an issue if both were receioving a thrid party house
clock, I don't know, but my take on what I read was that without this they
might be speaking different dialects of the same language.

i think neil's going to be putting the emu in another dedicated vsti
machine, much the same way i dual purpose the lynx card.

Not sure at this point... was thinking of trying it in my audio
PC just to see if I like the sound of the EMU convertors better
than the Multiface's convertors. If it turned out I didn't like
them better, then I could always just use the EMU interface for
the VSTi machine... in that case I'd be driving the VSTi rig
with MIDI from the main PC, then coming out of the VSTi rig
with digital audio anyway.
Also thinking about the fact that the EMU card has hardware-
accelerated processing.... gotta find a way to take CPU load
off the audio PC somehow - you get 30-something tracks going at
88.2k, and you can only handle so many inserts & 'verbs before
you have to back off on latency settings or start freezing
tracks in SX, so I'm thinking about that or perhaps a Mucusrite
Liquidmix/SSL Duende, or something along those lines (UAD
doesn't seem to be an option, too many of you guys have had
various & sundry issues with that card for my taste).

UAD-1 is worth the pain. Looks like Duende is Mac only.

I'm leaning towards Liquidmix, rather than Duende, partially
because I'll betcha that the Liquidmix has emulations of some
SSL comps & EQ's (plus a lot more) whereas the SSL has - well,
only SSL ones.
With the EMU card, I'd get some hardware-accelerated plugins,
plus it's a known quantity in terms of the convertors (since
it's supposed to have the same ones as in the Digi HD192
interface - and I've used those & know that they sound good).
Problem is with EMU's track record of support - or lack
thereof - if at some point I need to migrate to something more
up-to-date than WinXP, will EMU have new drivers for it? Doubt
it. They'll just discontinue that card, wait a couple years &
build a "new" one that you'll have to buy from scratch.

As cheap as these cards are, I would say that that's a good possibility.
They are already being sold at *blowout* prices. They will liley discontinue
them rather than write a 64 bit driver.
From what I'm hearing about Vista, I'm thinking that it won't matter. There
seem to be some incredibly stupid and, CPU intensive stuff going on under
the hood at this point. Apparently MS has decided to have the little musical
intro hardwired so that it can't be disabled in the control panel, etc. That
in itself, though obnoxious, isn't a deal breaker. Totally idiotic, to be
sure, but . one reason I stick with windows is because I can *undo* the crap
that they think is important and that I don't. If they start fucking around
with this I might have to jump to the dark side after all.

Being a dealer I'm starting to get the discontinued vibe also.
EMU does have beta 64bit drivers for Windows XP Pro 64 but who know s if
they have even started on Vista drivers. Not sure why anybody would
waste development time on Windows XP 64. It would be like writing only
for Windows ME.
Vista will be just fine for audio/video and is more tweak able than XP
even.
Your still talking about a year from now before all the small 3rd party
companies get their software and hardware fully optimized for Vista.
