RE: Laptop Audio Interface

["Dean, Hal " <HDean@wcupa.edu>]

Another vote for the RME Fireface products. Impeccable implementation,
great sound, extreme flexibility. I was an Echo Audio devotee until I
snagged a Fireface 800 on sale for a nanosecond at Mus's Friend; tried a
MOTU briefly a few years ago and hated it; had an Emu 1212 and found the
interface inscrutable and the build quality poor.   

That said, I also have an Indigo and it too is rock solid.

They are two radically different beasts. In each case, you get what you
pay for, but with the Indigo be aware that what you lose in paying low $
is not reliability or audio quality, but flexibility and features.

I had nightmares with the M-Audio Firewire 410 and Emu 1616 cardbus, and
the 
Edirol UA-5 wasn't so hot, but at least it worked (had a fair amount of 
latency).  I think te Motu and FW400 are your best bets.  You get what
you 
pay for, in most cases.
