A MOTU 828 hooked to my G5 Mac, and a M-Audio Firewire Solo for the Toshiba Laptop running XP) I kind of thought I'd just get more inputs, but I guess not. > The Rig Control is only a 2 in 2 out interface, so if > you want to record more than one source independently, > or want to have > more than one stereo out (for outboard processing, > surround, etc) it won't cut it.

I think the reason I'm considering it at all is because it's not an MIDI controller at all. It uses an audio track to transmit control data to Guitar Rig to get over limitation in MIDI CC. I guess I was wondering how much I'd miss that extra resolution if I didn't have it. I'm on an expression pedel of some sort about 80% of the time... In the end, it's probably not such a bad thing as the way I'd use it woudl be in a rig where the only audio external to the laptop was the guitar anyway. I wonder though, if I used it on my Mac if the Core Audio drivers had the same issue.
