James have you used the RME babyface at all? I wish it wasn't so dang expensive.

Stevie, good to know the M-Audio is noisy..I have looked at a few of those..but leaning away from them because I am starting to collect to much M-Audio gear..lol need to change it up a bit. I have had my eye on the new C600 though.. Any thoughts on that one? http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/C600/
