Here's my home studio... Love these threads

Loonsailor try this link it has the driver update history. If you look at the mac it definately seems like it includes total mix. I'm am not sure about ASIO drivers. That page you are looking at is definately dated. Because for the PC they don't list windows vista and the FF800 is vista compatible according to their main website. http://www.rme-audio.de/en_techinfo_content.php?page=content/downloads/en_driver_updates_readme_firewire chaeridley, yes thats exactly what the digimax is for.

loonsailor... I'm not sure about total mix and a mac (I use PC), I'm sure you could look on the rme forum chaeridley The digimax lt is not an interface for recording. It is just a preamp with digital outs.

I agree with gsHarmony, I got the FF800 this weekend, very easy to set up, the software to control the routing is way better than firestudio. I recorded about 15 hours this weekend and never had a single problem. Its not that the firestudio can't be used, I eventually did get it to work, but there would be random crashes. For example when I adjusted the zoom on the tracks it would freeze up. When loading some vst instruments it would crash. Unfortunately I can't return it, but I can still use it as preamps through ADAT running the RME as the master. FF800 is definately worth the extra money in comparison to firestudio. Good luck

Check the presonus site, firepod does have vista drivers. http://www.presonus.com/downloads.html Sorry I guess your problem is with Cubase LE not being compatible with Vista. I'm still not sure I would want to use Vista for DAW, Windows XP sp2 is really stable. It will take a year or so to work out all of the bugs in Vista.
