I was adding in the price of the 800Mhz card you mentioned. Now that you brought up the Phase 88. It has a number of merits basically it's the difference between getting hobbyist entry level gear and something a professional would use.

Here's a link to giving a basic review of what the VS-1880 is. http://www.gearpreview.com/music/reco/vs1880.html It does all the standard mixing effects including over dubbing cross fades etc. You can also add in processing moduals. I don't use or have any of the processing moduals installed. If I want a delay effect on the guitar track. I use a digital delay when I record the track in first place. I prefer to changes the sound of what's recorded rather than change it later. If you're dealing with real musicians rather than samples and remixing stuff. What works well and what's the best approach take on a new prospective. I work with live musicians in my home stuido and the Roland VS-1880 is the very soul of the setup. Thing is we don't change the sound of what we record after it's recorded. The approach we take is to get the sounds we want down. Then mix them until we get just the right sound from what we recorded. I'm working on a project with a couple of friends of mine right now. We're all tired of being in cover bands and want to write and record our own music. It'll be really nice if someone notices and we can all quit our day jobs... -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
