After being spoiled by the beautiful sound of the eMu interface, you may
need to spend big bucks on an RME BabyFace, although the, what's it
called, Presonus Sapphire Pro sounds mighty sweet, and costs maybe half
or a third of what RME gets for their wonderful interfaces.
I think the Sapphire Pro uses firewire, and I've never dealt with
firewire, but this forum and others sure are full of belly aches about
firewire issues.
One day maybe I'll pick up a Sapphire Pro to get around an issue with my
TC Helicon VoiceLive Play vocal pedal trying to steal the eMu asio
driver for its own use, which the eMu card won't allow.
From reading the TC Helicon forums I'm not the only PC user who can't
make his vocal pedal record from its USB cable, because of asio issues.
I notice that in their latest firmware upgrade for the pedal TC Helicon
has discontinued recording from the USB cable, since the factory techs
also couldn't solve that problem.
A USB card is another solution, they can work very well.
I also have the eMu 0404 USB interface, which works on Windows 7 64 with
the re-written beta driver.
It sounds as sweet as the PCI and PCIE cards, has almost as low latency,
but has only 2 microphone XLR jacks and 2 line level ins and outs, plus
digital ins and outs, enough for my simple needs most of the time.
It's a fairly large plastic box, that needs to sit somewhere on this
crowded rack though.
For speech, I found a tiny USB interface that only cost $22 USD that
only has 3.5mm unbalanced jacks, but is extremely clear-sounding, and
records at up to 24 bits 96K.
It gets its power from the USB jack, and is about the size of a pack of
playing cards.
Since it has left and right microphone jacks, I might get one to feed a
pair of tiny microphones into something like an iPad.
As far as the eMu interfaces go, I'll stick to what I have for now, but
if you really are determined to run 64 bit Windows 7, I believe you
might conquer issues with your 1212M, although the source of issues
might be the motherboard design, as some on the KVR forum think.
My I7 2600 machine that has the eMu 1616M running fine on 64 bits has a
very stable MSI motherboard.
This computer I'm on now is a cheap one by Acer, which only cost $380
USD from Walmart, but has the AMD 3620 4 core CPU chip, which has
graphics totally integrated into the chip.
I love using it because it is so stable and friendly to screenreaders.
I believe most of our screenreader and access problems are generated by
communication issues between the CPU and the graphics chip, when the
motherboard has a separate on-board graphics chip or graphics card.
My I7 machine has its graphics partly integrated onto the CPU chip, and
is almost as friendly to screenreaders.
I think all the newer Intel chips have stolen AMD's idea of totally
integrated graphics.
