That all sounds nuts Trond, and way too time consuming, you need to get an external device so you can sync your gear via midi MTC (start/stop). Something like this is what you need.

yeah, I have really no excuse for not owning a midi interface anymore.
I definately need one for sure.

but it's the effing noise from the ESX that is currently bothering me the most. There has been label interest for a cleaner sounding version of my track "squidstep", and with 17 ESX parts running, that's 17 times the noise I get from recording just the output of my mixer.

wow, just checked price for the m-audio, I found one at $119 BIN on the bay, price for a new one at my local music store is $350.... I can live with shipping then

hm, seems I can't run it with Vista.. ah damn it, it was all so easy when I just recorded everything in one go and that's it... this will be expensive and time-consuming for sure.

looking at the pictures again, there are no inputs for audio? or is that what "inserts" mean? I'm not spending $200 if all it does is sync midi.... maybe I should look at something bigger as well, 2x stereo ins, stereo outs and midi would be just what I need

this seems nice, and it supports vista:

having several inputs eases the job of recording tons of tracks as well

all the ins/outs etc are on the back of the audiosport quattro

yeah, I saw that, but there were only a pair of inputs, and they were labeled "insert", so I guess they are meant for using as insert fx? I get confused when the ins/outs have so many different names, does that mean they do different things or can I use any input for my synths?

I don't know if you have considered other tools, but a good expander/gate plugin will help you remove noise from your tracks without destroying your samples. I have used Waves C1 with great success in this regard.

I don't know much about Reaper, sorry.

cheers,
