Alright AM, One thing that you have not posted is WHAT ARE YOU USING IT FOR. And why do you need it? IE: What are you pluging it to? A 002 I am assuming, but some people out there are using MBox stuff too. I am going with a 002. Now, why are you wanting 96K is the next question, but that can be a drawn out one indeed. I personally NEVER track at 96K and find it not useful in the LE realm as it kills my computer and quite frankly 48/24 is plenty for most ROCK applications. Now if it were a straight guitar and singer maybe, classical probably more so. ROCK, 48/24 into the APOGEE ROSETTA and you are set. So, again, what are you out to accomplish with this setup should be the question to ask yourself, and why. Please elaborate some to help us out on your goals with the setup. Thanks, Doc
