the current drivers do not work in all situations... I'm back to onboard for the time being.

That is not true... You can have a great amp, but if you have a crappy source it can only sound as good as the source.

You've tried the 1.1 and 1.3 drivers? I hope they come out with a new driver soon like they said. Yeah, I guess the thing about the source is true, but he still has a pretty good sound card.

Does anyone know if the pin-outs on the end of the card will work with a Live!Drive, I mean ... like a standard Creative X-Fi?

Hey guys... I am having a hard time... I mean HARD time adjusting to cutting on AVID so this is not as far along as I hoped it would be. Most my effort had gone towards finding the stuff instead of the actual cutting... but I am uploading as a Quicktime (don't use Firefox just in case). This is the project as it stands on the timeline. I am only uploading to show some of the ideas I will work on in hopes to get some ideas from you.

Remember I'd like to do it to several songs not just one.

(up it ~10min cause my upload speed blows)

s1rrah, before you abandon the SB Live! try out the KX drivers. The stock front channel OP amps are pretty terrible, but for whatever reason the rears are significantly better. The drivers let you swap front/rear OP amps to take advantage of the better hardware.
