Hi David
I installed reaper 32bit and now my inputs are listed correctly in 
reaper, and they seem to be pre-configured or something.
I'm not really a pro-recorder, So i think i will use this emu-1212m 
without any settings or anything, just default settings, untill i get 
some money to grab a great audio interface.
I might create another topic for this, but I'm wondering what should i 
buy if i want to junk this emu-1212m.
